Video Looper Download (Needed):

Made By My Code With Some Help From Adafruit.

This software allows the user to loop whatever movies are on the memory stick which is inserted using the USB ports.

Type in the following code into your Raspberry Pi terminal:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y git

git clone https://github.com/lukecastle/GhostInTheMirror.git

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/pi_video_looper.git

Then also type in:

cd pi_video_looper

sudo ./install.sh

This installes the software and will make it start on loop You should start to see a lot of messages printed to the screen as software is downloaded and installed. After about 5 minutes you should see the installation stop with the message Finished! If you see this message then the installation succeeded. If the installation fails for some reason it will immediately stop and display an error.  Check the terminal for the error to see if it’s something you can easily correct like a failure to access the internet. After the software installs you should see the video looper display on the HDMI port.  Assuming no USB drives with movies are connected to your Pi, there should be a message telling you to insert a USB drive like below.

Ghost In The Mirror

To display the ghost you can check out this youtube video link below:

This link takes you to a ghost FX.

You can download this from youtube using your favourite website, why not make your own fx… Now copy this to a blank usb stick. Plug it into the software and bingo, you have a ghost which will reloop. Now you can build a frame for your mirror and use a spare monitor with a 2 way mirror to finish off your project.
