Systems and methods for controlling a plumbing fixture, smart mirror, and the like using projected images

A mirror assembly, comprising:

• an interior portion;
• a wall comprising an exterior reflective surface, at least a portion of the wall configured to allow light to pass from the interior portion through the wall;
• and
• a light source and a lens located within the interior portion, wherein the lens is arranged to receive light from the light source and to direct such light through the portion of the wall so as to project an image beyond the exterior reflective surface;
• one or more external lights located along the wall adjacent the exterior reflective surface;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled to the one or more external lights, wherein the controller is configured to generate one or more control signals for controlling the one or more external lights based on a user interaction with the projected image.
