Abstract: Smart mirror also called magic mirror is a wall-mounted mirror or a bathroom mirror which helps in displaying data along with the functionality of a normal mirror. It displays the plain texts, image, date, time and weather as well as recent news headlines, etc. It can also display mails, shopping list, important reminders which are present in someone's mail account. Biometric authentication is used in this work to use the smart mirror displaying functionality. The statement 'everyone is unique' becomes the basic premise for biometric authentication. It supports facial recognition technology for the authentication. So, only the authorised person will be able to use the display facility on the mirror as long as he/she is in front of the mirror. These types of smart mirrors can be used in the bathroom or the bedroom. In this model, the user is required to authenticate himself by face detection biometric technique. This helps in saving a lot of time in viewing any personal mail feeds or social app notifications using a phone or a laptop instead use that time wisely by doing daily tasks in the morning like brushing your teeth or washing your face simultaneously while watching the smart mirror.
