The infamous “Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful?” that we all remember from the fairy tale we grew up with may soon change to: “Screen, my little screen,” …. And that’s because Samsung has revealed that we will soon have screens that will also function as digital mirrors.
Samsung has unveiled new displays in Hong Kong that are surprising in terms of the technology they contain, with some models being transparent while others also functioning as mirrors. Although the company initially presented the displays for use as advertising displays, in the future it aims to use them as "virtual dressing rooms.".
By this term, Samsung means that the customer of a clothing and footwear store will be able to "wear" their choices in digital form and see themselves on the transparent-mirror screen, the final result.
The virtual fitting room will become a reality with the help of the RealSense camera from Intel. Another interesting and impressive use of Samsung's new displays concerns jewelry, in which we will be able to wear the jewelry in digital form and observe how it looks on us.
At the same time, as for the transparent screens, they will offer advertisements that come out of a science fiction movie, as by using the Intel RealSense camera, the interested party will be able to experience an interactive experience, using their voice and hand movements to "control" the content of the displayed content.
Of course, all these technological achievements take time to reach mass adoption, but Samsung is commendable for its continued effort in the field.
