Here is my MagicMirror.

I successfully cloned the magicmirror repo to my raspberry pi, and now my phone’s apple calendar is finally showing up on the display. I plan to later implement facial recognition and integration into my obsidian vault.

what I did:

• cloned the magicmirror repo and installed it on my pi
• configured the calendar to pull from my personal apple calendar
• time and weather displayed
• got facial recognition working on my logitech usb camera

current stats:

• Pi model: 4B with 4GB ram
• Webcam: Logitech Pro Stream Webcam
• mirror UI: 120 fps
• facial recognition frames: 15 fps
• CV scalar: 1

I decided to go with a CV scalar of 1 to improve the model’s scanning at longer distances since the pi held up under the heavier processing.

what’s next:

• I plan to add personal profiles based on the facial recognition model
• each profile will have their personalized calendar and sports teams’ schedule displayed
• then I’ll be adding a SR-501 InfraRed sensor and a SR-04 Ultrasonic sensor to wake up the mirror from sleep mode
