– THE HOOK UP –

A few companies are building smart mirrors with android and google assistant built in so you can do things like pull up the traffic and weather, or watch a hair or makeup tutorial on YouTube while you’re in the bathroom. DIY smart mirrors have been a thing for quite a while, and last year the company Electric Mirror brought their very feature rich, but cost prohibitively expensive smart mirrors to CES. This year a new company called Capstone Connected has brought their own android touch screen mirrors to market starting at $600, roughly 20% of the price of the cheapest mirror by Electric Mirrors, still not cheap, but not unreasonable considering there is a fully functional android 9 tablet inside.
