Features:

• Support for plugins written in any programming language!
• An API for any program to update their own web display and web configuration
• An API for managing plugins with built in web interface (enabling/disabling plugins + re-arranging plugins)
• Built in scheduler for running short lived scripts/programs and redirecting their output onto the mirror display

Project History

This project started as a capstone project for our (Derrick and David) Computer Science degree. Our semester was only 3 months long, so with other classes going on, not a lot of time could be put into the project; it's more or less a proof of concept system. This repository is a second repository with all our capstone specific information and code that is not necessary removed for the sake of keeping our original repository intact for marking and historic purposes; hence the suddenly populated repository.

Our prototype mirror utilizes a Raspberry Pi 2B with a 3.5" touch screen on it for interactive demos as seen below.
