For my final project, I have decided to narrow down on an IoT conditioning mirror. I want the mirror to trigger deeper thinking and really make you reconsider how mirrors have made us view ourselves.
I was inspired to create a mirror based off of my project for Allan’s class – in which I created a website and app that reminds you of the conditioning of society through horror and then finds ways to unlearn and remember who you are. With this project, I want to take that one step further by creating a mirror that flickers when you approach it, and whispers different societal expectations on you. I think this kind of acts like a way to materialize how many of us view ourselves daily and how we can start to rethink looking at ourselves in the mirror.
Parts
This is the parts list I got off of Chatgpt since I’m not really sure how to bring this to life at the moment.
ESP32 DevKit V1
PIR sensor (HC-SR501)
DFPlayer Mini
3W 8Ω speaker
Micro SD card
Breadboard + jumper wires
One-way mirror acrylic or mirror film
LED strip (WS2812B)
USB power bank or 5V adapter
For my next steps, I do want to research this more and talk to Becky and find a way to materialize this concept.
Thank you!
