Back in 2014, a Raspberry Pi
enthusiast by the name of Michael Teeuw
shared his build of a “magic mirror” with the world in a six-part series.
The system consisted of a Raspberry Pi and monitor running a web browser in
kiosk mode, with a web server that provided a dashboard interface — all
stored in a custom-built case with a one-way mirror. Since his
post, others around
the world have built these devices for their home (including myself),
forming both a community and an interesting open-source project. The recent
release of MagicMirror2 (MM2) version 2.12.0 gives us an
opportunity to learn more about where the project started and where it is
today.
