Hey everyone,
I’m working on a project to build a smart mirror that integrates health and wellness features like heart rate monitoring, personalized skincare recommendations, and a morning routine assistant. I’m looking for advice on the best hardware to use for this project. Specifically, I need recommendations for:
-
Display Panel: What’s the best type of screen (LED/OLED) for a two-way mirror setup that also delivers good clarity for health metrics?
-
Sensors: For tracking heart rate, sleep quality, and skin condition, any suggestions for reliable and cost-effective sensors?
-
Microcontroller/Processor: I’m considering using a Raspberry Pi, but I’m open to other options for processing health data and controlling the smart mirror's interface. Any tips on alternatives or compatible accessories?
-
Camera for Facial Recognition: Would love recommendations on cameras that golf hit game work well with Raspberry Pi for skin analysis and facial recognition.
I’m fairly new to integrating hardware for these types of projects, so I’d appreciate any insights on the best components to use, and any other tools or platforms that could help streamline development.
Thanks in advance for any help!
