Teardown of the Simplehuman Sensor Mirror
We're obviously fans of @simplehuman, so we had to tear one down. This week we’re joined by Jingwen Zhu an Electrical Design Engineer at Tomorrow Lab (tomorrow-lab.com) who is an owner of a simplehuman mirror and recommended we tear one down. So we found one of these $200 smart mirrors on eBay for much less than $200 and ordered one, so we can destroy it. For you. Well, and us.
In this teardown, we look at the design for manufacture, repairability, the IR sensor, and discuss some of the downsides of it being an IR sensor. Then as always, we riff on what it could be.
