Mickey Mirror is an interactive software mirror for trying on and embroidering Mickey Mouse "Ears" at Disney Parks. The mirror also functions as a photo booth. This project was originally created for an interactive computing course at NYU in 2013 then redesigned for a scholarship competition in 2016.

The original prompt for this project was to use video input to create an application.
I wanted to create an experience that could be implemented in a theme park setting. Disneyland has a plethora of different "ears" that you can purchase throughout the park, but not all of them are available at each location. My goal was to make an interactive interface that could be installed throughout the park for guests to order any hat and pick it up on their way out.
In 2016, I decided to rework this experience as a modular photo booth based on feedback on the original project. I also reworked the codebase to make it easier for others to understand and adapt for their own uses. I was awarded the Delphix Diversity in Technology Scholarship for this piece.
