[CEATEC 2015] Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Most mirrors will remain quiet and not answer back – after all, why take the risk of disappointing your owner and getting yourself thrown out of the home or even broken? Two years down the road after Sharp showed off their mirror display, here we are with what looks to be an even more refined version. The mirror itself is broader than before, and it also seems to be a whole lot more clearer as opposed to what we saw a couple of years back.
This time around, the items shown on the mirror display were a wee bit more complicated than before – there were tiny patterns which were inspired by snowflakes dancing all over the screen, and each of these small motifs happen to feature a litany of colors, which makes them all the more attractive as opposed to the rather monotone presentation earlier on.
It would have practical uses in the retail industry, especially when it works alongside some sort of augmented reality system. For instance, if you were to try on a hat, and the system detects you doing so, it might even show off alternatives of other hats in the store along with the relevant details – pricing, size availability, etc., to assist you in arriving at a decision.
