Cloud Mirror: A system that turns a mirror into an interactive screen

Last update: April 7, 2020

Cloud Mirror is a system that turns a mirror into an interactive screen that notifies us of the tasks to be performed during the day. For now, the features would be information about: traffic, news, calendar and weather. Another important feature is that it keeps the data synchronized with any Google account you want (since Google provides services similar to those of the widgets supported by the mirror).

The idea, according to the official project page, was to create something that was truly useful, so they decided to add interactivity and information to users' mornings.
