Ask HN : Absolutely the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Can someone explain, how the phone screen is being displayed in the mirror? It is behind the mirror, it's not in front of it? Since the mirror won't understand touch, there is no touch based control and one needs to pull the phone out to change app etc right.

Thanks

Answering my own question, secret is in the two way mirror, so no touch and no camera as the other side would reflect back.

You can update it by remoting into the phone or having it pull down configuration changes from a server periodically.

Or using a USB or Bluetooth mouse - Android supports them out-of-the-box.
