LOT-Based emotion sensitive smart mirror for room automation

Abstract

People can perform their daily routines effectively and efficiently with The Internet of Things (IoT). This technology is expanding and getting advanced day by day. Some devices do not need human interaction to work when they are integrated with IoT. At present, IoT technology is connected to our home appliances as well. Things can be performed more efficiently and accurately with this type of smart equipment. More advanced tasks can be done easily when Image Processing is combined with IoT. This project focuses to integrate IoT and the mirror which is used in our daily lives. When life becomes busy, our free time gets reduced. Therefore, time management plays a major role in the present world. As support for managing time, this project targets to improve the regular mirror into a Smart mirror with IoT, which operates with voice commands. The aim of this project is to design a smart mirror for the home environment bundled with the maximum possible features while maintaining a low budget. This mirror provides a better user experience by including features such as motion detection, controlling the light according to the light intensity of the room, face recognition, displaying time, date, weather information, and news headlines, playing music, and showing quotes according to the mood of the user (Emotion detection), and controlling appliances in the room using voice commands (Voice recognition and Room automation). This mirror can greatly help its user to manage life easier, faster, and more efficiently. Besides, we have also maintained a low budget for building this smart mirror. Face recognition, emotion recognition, and room automation are all interesting features of this smart mirror. This paper describes the design and construction of the smart mirror using Raspberry Pi.
