The mirror mod makes use of an that lives behind the two-way mirror. The IOIO board (pronounced yo-yo!) is designed specifically for use with Android gadgets, meaning you can control your new robot, gadget, or mod from an app on your phone--it's not too dissimilar from an Arduino board, really. The microcontroller connects to a 512 pixel display placed behind the mirror. Everything communicates with your phone via Bluetooth.

Once activated, you can stream low-resolution photos and videos to the mirror, and also play slightly more interactive games, such as using the display as a Magic 8 ball--that's probably the best why of asking the mirror if you look OK today!

This interactive mirror is at present a prototype, so we expect that it'll be able to do more in the future--perhaps it could one day suggest what color sweater you should wear with your favorite pants. At present, though, this would still be a pretty cool thing to show off to your friends the next time they visit--especially if they go to check themselves out in the modded mirror, unaware of the display behind it...
