Smart Mirror with deep learning algorithms and distributed AI serves as interface between residents and smart environments. Bielefeld University UNIBI was founded in with an explicit research assignment and a mission to provide high-quality teaching.
Founded in , both institutes are dedicated to research in the key areas of interaction technology, robotics and artificial intelligence with a focus on transfer to applications in socio-technical systems. Bielefeld University is located in Northern Germany, where almost associated researchers work in both basic and applied research on intelligent systems, very often in collaboration with industry, the public sector, or civil society.
The Smart Mirror serves as an interface between residents and a smart environment. The solution is an interactive mirror, as well as a central IoT control point for connecting to various smart applications that are integrated in a home, in a corporation, or in a city.
The solution thereby adds a range of smart features to its environment, and automates and performs action commands provided by the user. The Smart Mirror is a consumer IoT product, which is applicable for use both in private and public smart environments. The solution is currently a research use case and is therefore not yet commercialised.
The incentive for the researchers to develop the Smart Mirror was an urge to tap into the accelerating smart environment trend and explore advanced technological functionalities that were not possible in the past. By building a hardware platform that caters to the continuous development in smart technology, the institute expands the prospects for efficient automation in homes, companies, and cities.
