What is VOYD?
VOYD is a tech handbag, as the inside is lined with acrylic mirrors and LED lights to provide the user a vanity-like experience – see below:
Another version of the classic VOYD handbag is the X model which includes an embedded smart mirror effect – see below:
Currently, the display behind the mirror is preconfigured and only displays image of choice, time, and a custom message.
How does it work?
The current set up for the smart mirror is as followed:
• Software containing display content is downloaded into micro chip SD
• SD micro chip is inserted into Raspberry Pi Zero
• Power bank is connected to RPI and display
• Cable from display to power bank is spliced to include magnet sensor and LED light
Mobile App features and functionality
The VOYD mobile app must be able to do the following:
• App must be able to control LED lights (Ability to dim lights from app and change colors. We are open to purchasing specific lights it that is required)
• App must be able to change/configure the following from phone to display:
- Display date and time
- Ability to interchange a photo/video/gif display
- Phone notifications (Texts, missed calls, etc)
- Other app notifications (Example: Uber, crime app, news app etc) [would be nice if they could open streaming apps (such as YouTube, Netflix etc)]
- Phone reminders
- Weather
- Personal message
We are open to changing the current system set up if that is required for the desired outcome. Bluetooth or wifi – whatever is necessary to get the desired outcome is up to your discretion.
There have been conversations as to if other apps or text messages etc can be pushed to the display from the app due to privacy issues. If it cannot be done, the alternative would be space in the app for users to manually add content. The display would be the following:
• Photo Library Access – interchangeable photos and videos (in loop)
• Time and Date
• Weather
• Calendar (Users can manually add content, but only displays input for the current day)
• Notes section
• Web window (a space where users can input a web link on the app and have it display on the dashboard (YouTube link, streaming link, social media link etc.) In addition, (if possible) when the web window is not utilized – our logo is displayed:
Please note that a black background with white text is desired as the dashboard display will be reflected behind a two-way mirror.
