My Ambient Information Display
<p>I like to be immersed in useful information, and often dreamed of ways to have it literally floating above me so that I could glance up and see something new and interesting.</p>
<p>A few years ago I mounted a 43" <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0874XJYW8" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Fire TV</a> above my desk, tie-wrapped a <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Raspberry Pi</a> to the back of it, and used <a href="https://magicmirror.builders/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">MagicMirror</a> to create the display of my dreams. I have spent several years improving my display and am finally ready to tell you all about it!</p>
<p>MagicMirror is a mature piece of open source code with a very active <a href="https://forum.magicmirror.builders/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">community</a>. The base package includes a <a href="https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/introduction.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">default set</a> of modules, and there are <a href="https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">hundreds more</a> available. Most of these modules were built by developers to “scratch their own itch”, and subsequently shared far and wide, also in open source form.</p>
