This interactive mirror by Open Gadgets uses a IOIO Microcontroller with a Bluetooth module to communicate with an Android phone. There are a few apps such as a picture viewer, a magic 8-ball, and the phone can even stream video to the mirror. The mirror’s 32 x 16 pixel LED matrix display is mounted behind a pane of two way glass and it’s nicely packaged up and framed. Nice work! [via Hacked Gadgets]

That is awesome. Gave me an idea. Use an old 14″ Monitor motion sensor. When someone moves in close to the mirror. BANG would be great for some laughs.
