This is not the first time someone is building a smart mirror. In 2020, a young and intelligent black female developer with the handle @DARAM0SH3R set Twitter abuzz after she did the same thing in her room.
Hers was fully done with a touchscreen capability. In a post on Sunday, December 13, 2020, the lady said she built it because she was bored.
