Smart mirror for smart life

Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept where an object having the ability to transfer data over a network without the need for human interaction to human or human to computer. IoT is known for its advantage that can help simplify people's everyday routine. Hence, the researcher comes with a proposed system called Smart Mirror. It is a concept of smart home-based Internet of Things (IoT). This system allows users to access information and also control the lights in the house. Relevant information can be traced such as time and date, weather, warning, traffic, and location map. The system applies Sonus technology as a medium of interaction between people and systems. So, users need to provide instructions to the system orally to acquire the system's response. The methodological approach used in this project is The Evolutionary Prototyping which gathers all requirements and designs the system in a quick method. A prototype is built to evaluate and deliver feedback. Improvements will be made to enhance the prototype, catering to user's satisfaction. Sonus is a speech to text library that can quickly and easily add a VUI (Voice User Interface) to any hardware or software project. Similar to Alexa, Google Now, and Series, Sonus can always provide listening function offline for a customizable hotword. Once a hotword is detected, it will be streamed to user's speech recognition cloud service, then the results shall be received. With Smart Mirror system, users can manage their daily activities at ease as well as solving many problems in managing some house chores.
