Re:Show HN: Gesture controlled Smart Mirror by shinao on Friday July 29, 2016 @09:46AM (#12186747)
I considered Leap Motion but didn't know if it would have worked behind my mirror and in vertical way (Maybe if you have one you call tell me). Also I always like to learn new stuff, OpenCV seemed like something I could use again in the future.

I tried running everything on Node but the OpenCV wrapper is not there yet. Completely right on Python though but while learning it I wasn't interested to go on with it for the front end.

Thanks !

We've tried that here - one-way mirrors, straight glass, plexiglass, projection film - leap motion will NOT work through the materials.

It CAN work vertically with caveats.
