Abstract

Technology in the 21st century has been steadily revolving around the word “smart”. In technological parlance, “smart” indicates any device that would be capable of performing some actions based on decisions of its own, without user intervention. The trend of late, has been to make every item of necessity “smart”, with the focus of tightly integrating many such items into a common ecosystem where each device would be able function without much explicit user interaction, which is what the end goal of the field of IoT (Internet of Things) is. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has its basis in gadgets interacting with the environment and users, by detecting certain triggers and learning from those interactions to build up a knowledge model, which would shape its future decisions. It has been under consideration by innovators and technology enthusiasts, to integrate “smart” functions into a mirror, where it would give us information such as the news, time and weather, while also serving its core purpose, which obviously is to show one’s reflection. This would, in essence, make the mirror an IoT device. However, it is the introduction of AI driven features within the mirror which would make it qualify as a truly “smart” device.
