Idea, smart display, and TV box? - mzs.112000 - 01-02-2020

Would it be possible to build a smart display, similar to the Amazon Echo Show devices?

It would go well with the IP cameras as well. The smart display could have a MiniPCIe slot and a SIM slot so it can be used as a hotspot on 4G. Maybe using Mycroft for voice controls. With 256GB of storage, could be used as a DVR for the IP cam...


A TV box would also do well. Would be pretty simple, just a RockPro64, but in a case, with lots of storage for movies and TV shows, Kodi preinstalled and an IR receiver.

Regarding the TV Box: It seems like a RockPro64 with a 3.5" drive in a small package would be useful for a lot of applications. ...Is there such a thing/project?

I'm familiar with the 2x SATA card, but I'm thinking more along the lines of a single drive adapter in a tight form factor.

As for the TV Box, technically it already exists as one of the company partnered with Pine64:
