This project also involves actually building an intelligent mirror. To be precise, the intelligent part is supplied by the software. The actual physical device built would more correctly be coined a smart mirror according to the distinction between smart and intelligent mirrors made during the introduction. There are many properties to be considered when building the mirror: weight, mirror size, screen size, hardware selection, power supply, mounting technique, heat generation, and aesthetics. This section will explain many of the choices to be made for building a smart mirror, the options available, and why the final choices were made.
