Raspberry Pi 5 Powered Magic Mirror
I want to create a magic mirror for my bathroom to provide nessecary information for the day, such as weather, calendar, etc. This will be a challenging hardware project, but a simple software project as I am planning to use the MagicMirror 2 open source software. I will use a relatively cheap monitor and cheap dielectric glass.

Found cheap glass and researched OS
Got an estimate for glass from two way mirrors. looking like around 50 bucks. I cadded out the whole thing and It looks like it should work. I am planning to use a 5 inch display that i can also get for like 35 bucks. Then, I just have to get a frame and I should be ready to submit for review! PS: (switched to cheaper display)

PS
I need to get this project (Design process) done in 2 days so it will look crazy rushed bc it is
