Earlier this year we took a look at a smart bathroom mirror, made by a Google engineer in his spare time to outstanding results. Thanks to the use of two-way glass, a display and an Android-powered Fire TV Stick, Max Braun was able to place live weather, news and time data while retaining the full use of the mirror.
