#2This is impressive!
I worked on a project much like this for a client last year. We actually hid a camera behind the glass and could take "mirror selfies". It's a pretty simple add-on if you're making an interactive installation/vanity mirror.

#4Do that same thing with a TV: http://www.hometime.com/Hometime_4.0/video/VideoCollectorPag...
Hidden bathroom TV, behind the mirror.

#5Very cool, though I'm disappointed that it's not interactive. I agree that touch isn't the right choice for a mirror, but that's not the only option.
Adding a camera and a bit of OpenCV code could give you a "light" version of a Kinect interface -- broad gestures or hand signs shouldn't be hard to use to change modes.
Or a microphone and some voice recognition. Not sure what the open-source state of the art is like, but if you were to burn Android on it, Google has some pretty awesome voice recognition APIs you can use.

#7"The R&D Lab's interactive mirror is a platform that we've designed to explore how the relationship between information and the self is evolving and how media content from The New York Times and others might play a part.
By using a special semi-reflective glass surface, the users of the mirror are able to see both a normal reflection of the real world as well as overlaid, high-contrast graphics. We've dubbed this "augmented reflection". Conceptually, the idea is that our mirror can reveal the halos of data around real-world objects, including ourselves." - NYT Labs, 2011.

#8Add Nest-like proximity activation and you've got a pretty cool bathroom/bedroom installation!

Voice recognition is a good thought and totally doable. A camera probably isn't a great choice for a bathroom mirror though.

The Leap Motion device might be another option.
