Magic mirror

A smart mirror in FINEP’s Kaskády Barrandov development brings useful everyday information directly into the building foyer.

Since September 2020, residents have been able to check the weather, nearby public transport and local updates directly in the mirror. The pilot project brought together FINEP’s idea, Audiopro’s implementation and Ki-Wi Signage’s content management technology.

Conceived by FINEP

FINEP has been active on the Czech market for more than 30 years and has built over 15,000 apartments in Prague and its surroundings.. This success has come also due to the ability to keep pace with modern technologies development.

"Here in FINEP we want living in our flats, houses and town parts to be comfortable and nice,” says David J. Wodinský, FINEP marketing director. “Not everyone has the time to regularly read news today and a smart mirror in the foyer is a great information as well as a very attractive medium fit for the fast times we are living in."

Implemented by Audiopro

„We are happy to be a part of the project implementing large mirrors that also work as a smart screen,” says Michal Černý, Audiopro Key Account Manager.

The smart mirror combines a special glass, imaging technology and Ki-Wi Digital’s software, with Audiopro responsible for the installation.

Powered by Ki-Wi Signage

Ki-Wi Signage powers the smart mirror through an application running on the screen and a web-based CMS for remote management. The screen can display photos, videos, websites, PDFs, presentations, streams and RSS feeds, while the CMS allows operators to manage content, monitor screens and control them remotely.
“With Ki-Wi Signage, you can manage content and control screens remotely – monitor them, restart them or schedule when they turn on and off. An appreciated benefit is that different screens can be managed ‘under one roof’, from a single CMS, regardless of their number, type or manufacturer,” says Petr Adamík, Development Manager of Ki-Wi Digital.

What the smart mirror can do

  • Work as a regular mirror when the display is off
  • Show weather, nearby public transport departures and local updates
  • Display images, videos, web content, documents, presentations, streams and RSS
  • Keep information up to date without anyone having to access the screen on site
  • Extend from a single smart mirror to centrally managed screens across multiple apartment buildings
  • Serve as a digital notice board for residents, with building news, documents and meeting reports
  • Add touch interaction so residents can browse information directly on the screen
  • Use the same platform for mirrors, LCDs, kiosks and other digital displays

From one smart mirror to more


What began as a smart mirror in one residential building shows how digital information can become a natural part of everyday spaces. The screen remains hidden when it is not needed, while the same concept can grow from a single information point to a centrally managed network across multiple buildings.

“We can provide anything from a simple standalone screen to a centrally managed system connecting multiple apartment buildings,” says Michal Černý of Audiopro.
