The Smart Mirror’s Voice Control function can distinguish up to six different voices, making it easy to navigate between multiple Google accounts. It eliminates the hassle of having to log in and out, while keeping each user’s data private and available only to them.

Managing the Smart Mirror is easily done using the Capstone Connected Control Hub. Similar to a high-end tablet, the Hub is a touch-screen device that lets users access playlists, log into messaging apps, check the weather, and much more when connected to Wi-Fi.

Users can connect from any room in the home and even place the Hub in a convenient location, while still experiencing the mirror’s full range of smart functions. The Hub will also be compatible with other future Capstone Connected Home products, soon to be introduced into the market. Once synced with other connected surface products, the Hub creates an ecosystem that can be conveniently managed through one central device.

Simply hang it up like a traditional mirror or stand it on its own, on a vanity or other tabletop surface, and enjoy multitasking while getting ready anywhere in the house.
