RFID Enabled Mirrors
Filed in archive RFID Basics on September 20, 2005
Japan is known for its innovation in creating consumer products that integrate technology. The Japanese are much further ahead of the United States, Europe and other areas in this regard, as evidenced by this example of technology that combines a mirror with a computer display, called "miragraphy":
"Hitachi announced ... a new mirror that functions as a computer display. It will be available for purchase in Japan on Septermber 30.
It combines a half mirror and a diffusion film to directly display digital information (text, photos, video, tv shows, websites, flash movies etc.) on a mirror surface using an LCD projector. This technology, called Miragraphy, also integrates sensors, RFID readers, barcode readers, cameras, etc. So, the mirror can automatically respond when people are aruond and personalize digital contents based on their sensed identities.
The Miragraphy device could potentially be used at restaurants, bars, hotels, trainstations, airports, sports clubs, show windows, designer clothing shops, and accessory shops."

The mirror.......I am a little disappointed by your statement that Japan is far ahead of the US, Europe etc.
In fact, the smart mirror can be seen in action in the Metro Future Store in Germany (Europe). It is there for 2 years already.
F.y.i. there is a lot more innovation in the Metro Lab, this is just one example.

Hi Adrie,
Thanks for pointing out that the Metro Store has this mirror. I myself have not been to that store. It would be helpful if you could point us to more information about it.
