About THE PROJECT

Project Overview

This smart mirror interface is designed to inform and connect users—similar to smartphones or tablets, but through a natural and ambient medium. The interface blends seamlessly into daily routines like getting ready in the morning, applying makeup, or brushing teeth

The Challenge

How can a mirror—traditionally passive—become a helpful, digital assistant without disrupting the user experience? The goal was to enhance routine moments with meaningful, at-a-glance information.

My Role

As a UX/UI Designer, I created the concept, user flows, wireframes, and final interface mockups. I focused on:

  • Information Architecture
  • Wireframes
  • Touch-friendly UI Design
  • Icon Design
  • User Context Awareness (face detection / personalization)
UX Process

Research & Discovery

Analyzed smart displays, mirrors, and minimalist UI. Interviewed users to understand morning routines and key information needs.

Information Architecture

Grouped functions:

  • Time & Weather
  • Calendar & Tasks
  • Messages & Calls
  • Social Media
  • Appearance Customization
Wireframes & UI Design

Built low- and high-fidelity mockups focusing on clarity, elegance, and minimalism. Chose soft tones and icons to keep the interface calm and distraction-free.

Low-Fidelity Wireframes

To structure the smart mirror interface, I first created a series of low-fidelity wireframes. These early sketches helped explore layout ideas and test core user flows before moving into high-fidelity design.

Each wireframe focuses on a specific use case, balancing visual clarity with minimal interaction, since the mirror is designed to provide ambient, glanceable information.

Key Features
  • Date, time & weather
  • Personal calendar with task view
  • Face-based personalization
  • Video calling & messaging
  • Appearance editing (makeup, accessories – fun interaction!)
  • Social media integration
  • Smart home indicators (Wi-Fi, light, etc.)
