  • "And in the future we hope to add features that people might actually like to use.. like, phone synchronization, video chat, text message/e-mail notification, facebook updates, and basically everything that has been selling extremely well for the last 5 years... wait why didn't we just do that?"

  • oops, video is from 07 my bad..

  • Its a touchscreen monitor with a mirror screen protector on it. My iphone is a scaled down version of this.

  • thought of this 7 years ago

  • great besides that a video camera is used to be like a mirror so why would you need one in a mirror?

  • yo dog i herd you liked being concieded, so i put a video camera in your mirror, so you can look at youself while you look at yourself

  • THIS IS A SCAM. (Thanks to F150draggin22s)

    THE THIRD GUY IS ACTUALLY CONTROLLING EVERTHING!

  • While I don't doubt that it's the guy controlling it, what I don't get is:

    Obviously they designed an interface for it and got the display to work with the mirror. Toss in a touchscreen and some cheap voice recognition software and this is totally possible. If they weren't being so lazy they might actually have a marketable product.

  • Also Waterloo is known for their great computer science program :)

  • This will never take off, as the person who is using the mirror will be looking at themselves. Humans are ego centric by nature.

  • The guy in the background is doing everything on the laptop. Notice when he scrolls down on the article his buddy scrolls down alittle more after he moved his hand.

  • ...why would you want a video of yourself on your mirror?

  • Comment removed

  • can barely see the damn text because of the reflection. Hopefully there's a way to make the text darker.

  • WASTE of money!

  • Haha, so ridiculous. I wouldn't put that in my house for free.  It seems like it's really unresponsive even. He has to drag his hand so slowly with an obvious lag across the screen... Like I'm going to be giving a shit about some stupid video when I wake up and shave for a couple minutes...

    The project is pretty good for a student project, though, but man, it's disgusting the way the 2nd guy never includes the 3rd guy in the presentation. It just makes him look like a dick...with a mirror..

  • its in the works, it is not a finished product, it is a school project and they are not professionals. I would like to see your mediocre low life produce a piece of work this good

  • I said it was good for a school project... But, you're on. I'll start work on my own mirror. Give me a year and I'll reply to the post again.

  • you dawg i put a mirror in your mirror so you can watch yourself watching yourself

  • that is freaking insane but what about the other guy thats in the background?

  • Double post ftw!!! The mirror isn't a computer.... The Asian on the right with the laptop is the one controlling everything as you can see 1:07 when he wants to start scrolling he looks at his asian friend. So if you want to scroll the interwebs while masturbating in the mirror, you will need to have an asian friend with a laptop.

  • Who says you don't already need an Asian with a laptop to jack off these days?

  • Why are asians so goddamn smart!!!

  • I guess one could browse the internet and read reflective literature.

    "Yo dawg, I heard you like reflections, so I put a reflection on your reflection so you can philosophize while you shave."

  • who sells this ?

    I'm interested let me know

    thanx

  • wow thats my university.... kinda gay

  • Looks like cheap shit

  • I wish my mirror could let me see myself shave that would be neat

  • That's crazy talk. I'm telling you, it can't be done, man!

  • check my mail in the bathroom? why?

  • Video cameras in the bathroom.....never a good idea.

  • ROFL

  • or... always a good idea...

  • wow, now brushing teeth gets more complicated.

  • Awesome, but also things that I don't generally need in the bathroom...

  • damn u guys are smart...

  • I am interested in purchasing for my country

    Please I need manufacturers to contact me asap

  • i hope this makes it to market

  • Did... Did they honestly integrate the ability to allow you to see yourself in the mirror? Technology advances huh...

  • hahah I was kinda thinking about that one too. Not their most captivating feature, for sure.

  • thats a very interesting!! but how much time do people regularly stay in the wash room? if i had one of those i would never leave it. :D lolz.

  • thats a beautiful and useful creation.. i like that

  • You can't make out the text in a glaring screen, so what's the point?

  • I can. I have eyes.

  • DC library. Ha ha !!

  • It makes me sad that 5 years from now things like these, that might seem unnecessary at best for now, might be as common and relied upon as cell phones. Is it possible to go down the evolution scale..?

  • I'm pretty sure it is. I totally agree with you.

    If all of our modern technologies were taken away from us, all the way back to taking away heaters, and even basic hand tools, and putting the human race back to a complete hunter-gatherer civilization... most of the human race would die out.

  • Future this, future that. I want nothing to do with this utopian crap. Hey everyone, make your life more conveniently controlled and overstimulated! Ugh, what a horribly banal existence.

  • True dat.

  • Read CAE. Ultimately, the concept behind this says that you can't even escape from work and the world of technology and production when you are performing your daily toiletries. That's a frightening thought. I can only assume that the next step is ratracing in one's sleep.

  • that's really cool and all but why the hell would you need to see a video of yourself in your mirror?! that's just ridiculous.

  • so you mean we're going to stand in front of the mirror the whole time?

  • Nice job, you jave just invented a computer with 'a Very Glossy screen'.

  • erm, how long does this bloke spend in the 'wash room' maybee they will intrgrate a webcam for skype you can take all those important calls while taking a dump

  • how many times did this guy say the word basically?

  • Looks realy cool, but doesnt seem to make live much easier. Seems hard to move the windows, and the cam looks kinda crappy. Great idea, just needs to be made easier to use.

  • but if you get out of the shower and its all steamed up its pretty fucking useless... ?

    its just a touch screen with a semi opaque mirror on top.. : /

  • i think that it's cool

  • I think this is lame. Its just a new take on the coffee table PC, though I admit, having it in a mirror is an improvement. Its got nothign without voice recognition. also if U need a cavity in the wall, or its profile is more than like 2 cm its sunk.

  • Okay, so the to see your face seems a bit redundant, however, I could imagine some interesting applications if you were to use it at a different angle. Like say to see the back or side of your head at the same time rather than having to use two mirrors.

  • Smart mirror Resize my ass?

  • lol ur ass is huge, nothing can resize that beast! smart mirror isnt soo smart. wen touching the screen its gonna get all dirty, especially with wet hands after brushing etc... Also it does not make things more efficient. But cool nonetheless.

  • so... the mirror will show you a video of yourself so you can watch yourself shave, eh? well... thank god for innovation!

  • thats very cool! nice!

  • freakin awsome !!

  • crafty asians!! jk jk

  • awsome future had just began

  • Just what I've always wanted - bathroom breaks with musical accompaniment.

  • Whats the point of shaving using the web cam when there is a mirror in front of you!?

  • Smart mirror clean my fingerprints!

  • lol n1!

  • learn to write proper u nab

  • this is perfect. i want to invest in this.

  • that is pretty cool

  • the mirror is kinda black it will not show all the colors of the object that appear in front of the mirror

    or dark colors will look more dark

  • "so basically.."

  • That will never work ... unless people come up with a mirror that doesn't get grease stains when you touch it .

  • ASIANS! lol jk this mirror is pretty cool, only if they had flash games on it!

  • What's next?? A mirror that tells you how ugly you are??

  • lol. theyre always asian...

  • to make a cheap version get some reflective film and put it over your big moniter and get some voice recognition software, then ebay a big wacom tablet and put the moniter and tablet together, done lol

  • really great innovation. but how long are people going to actually stand in front of the mirror to get there moneys

    worth. they should just design the screen to replace the computer with no input devices just all touch like the movie Minority Report

  • I agree with Nyiddle. Anyone who is to lazy to lean forward to shave wouldn't be shaving in the first place.

  • you know why they are laughing in the end? its all a government conspiracy. those were north koreans. if you buy that mirror its actually a feed into your bathroom that Kim Jong Il watches at night when he gets lonely.

  • can u watch porn?

  • lol i love when it doesnt work properly

  • he wares make up....lol

  • its cool, but i would never use this in the morning. Im too focused on just waking up to fuck with this thing...

  • nice'

  • *sorprendido*

  • Really cool.

  • pretty awesome! But whats the pointr with video when it allready Is a mirror? And also i see too many times that the voice-type-thing does not work. Skip it.

  • So you can zoom into your face without having to actually move close to the mirror itself.

  • so its easier to zoom into your face, tha actually just move your head 10 or 20 cm foward?

  • The only feature which is kinda cool is the ability to check the weather and browse the Internet using the mirror. The rest are kinda just tacky.

  • Its cool, but I rarely bath or shower, if im lucky I comb my hair. I think it would be better to turn it into a TV, with Tivo.

  • 1) University of Waterloo is in Canada. Not China, not Japan.

    2) These design symposiums count for nearly 2 courses. They take up 3-4 terms of design, implementation of documentation writing. They are worth a lot of marks. They are NOT fake.

    3) AWESOME IDEA!

  • Wow, this is the type of stuff we see on movies and cartoons.

  • Very Practical. But it can be distracting when you're shaving or doing something in front of a mirror.

  • thats pretty cool

  • thats cool i want one. when do they come out in America

  • Im a waterloo mech eng student and i wud pay good money for that, possible request a price quote. Great fucking job

  • It's a cool gadget but no too practical.

    And why not just shaving in front the computer? I do it ALL THE TIME.

  • totally useless, what a piece of crap, people are getting lazier and lazier

  • Please don't bash someone, maybe you should use your head before you spew that crap from your mouth. How much work do you think they put in that. When you come up with a better design then you can criticize but until then shut your mouth.

  • Holy shit. Technology is getting better.

  • I wouldn't like keeping that mirror clean from finger prints and smudges. Who in their right mind has time to do anything else in front of the mirror except to get ready.

  • i think its a good idea. especially considering the amount of time women spend in front of mirror. i would imagine a yuppy female exec would probably use it as much as her real pc if u made it somehow easier to work with.voice commands maybe.

  • What you guys talking about? I think it's pretty cool.

  • man that's so pointless

  • people need to upload more clips like this. I prefer funnier stuff myself, check out dolphinhump. lostfrog . com , I laughed so hard I got kicked out of class! haha.

  • That is Stupid and cheap !

  • OFFTOPIC. It's strange how all these chain-letters start with "PLEASE DON'T READ THIS" and involve "post 10 times or die"-like messages. Why even bother?

  • its so good

  • yeah.. why dont they just add a rotating toilet on the mirror that also makes you breakfast while you brush your teeth? before voice recognition, they should develop what they have already because its still laggy. very cool concept but i dont feel like wiping the mirror every time i touch it

  • dude thats so cool mirror im gonna

    get one

  • its like one of those things that you see in a sci-fi movie. I think they already have those for like really super rich people like Bill Gates or Oprah.

  • wow thats cool... i wonder how much it will cost?

  • Apple hired them for their iPhone. Rumor started by me.

  • Lol.

  • Awsome! Gosh these guys are quite smart ...

  • this is pretty cool but its probally hella exspensive, i wonder if u could watch porn?

  • That is amazing I want one of those some day.... How much do you think 1 of those costs?

  • VERY cool, i want one!

  • I want one for my room and for my tv and for my "washroom" and my floor and my .. well mirror! :D YEEY i want it to become a standard TV/computer/ mirror/news placeness/ EVERYTHING.. even a friend to tlak to that looks exactly like you.. :D wow!

    ps.. no i havent smoked anythin im always this deluded!

  • The mirror rocks! but the coolest part is when he said, "smart mirror start" and my boy Pharrell started playin'...that was bananas!!

  • how much time a day does one spend in front of a mirror?

  • this is fucking awesome

  • wooo UW represnt...lol! great job guyz. but the cam seems kinda useless since u hav a mirror in front of u...y wud u need a cam to c urself!? and if its for video chatting who wants to ppl watching em in the bathroom... plus its gonna create lotta security hazards from hackers for women users of ur smartmirror! if u do end up using a cam invest in a better one w/ faster frame rate!!

    overall great job guyz

  • he said the camera was for shaving, putting on make up, and putting on contacts. so that you do have to lean twards the mirror.

  • interesting concept but i prefer watching a new on tv or laptop. ladies may like this but maybe not the dow jones stuff.

  • i guess its pretty cool, checking the web while takin a shit and stuff, but the camera is retarded

  • Dumb idea.

  • why would u need a camera if the thing is a mirror

  • it's so that you can see your self up close with out leaning tward the mirror...you have no commen sense you stupid fucking hillbilly, nigger, kkk, athiest nazi motherfucker!

  • calm down im just sayin

  • some one is going to watch porn while brushing his teeth or taking a shit

  • These dorks missed one major concept about mirrors and who spends a lot of time in front of them... Speak of a product targeting a very "specific" audience :)

  • Who will use this when they are getting ready to go out, this is a stupid idea? WTF - Whats the point?

  • ur a faggpt for using lots of big words and trying to be smart

  • there are alot of bugs with the user-interface that have to be worked out, but this concept has potential.

  • I want this mirror too! But I hope it comes with the 1st guy talking. He's kind of cute =)

  • Cool, but not very useful. And how much would that cost?

  • it's cool but large. Most bathrooms or offices come to that have much smaller mirros. The concept is good though. can it be introduced into portable mirror for the ladies, then perhaps men will also think it chick to have hand mirror

  • lol its cool, but i doubt id use it..

  • Nice interesting post! But, have you seen what happens if you put diamonds in a blender? Check it out blend.lostfrog 'dot' com

  • I think they've invented a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

  • Yeah but its still cool.

  • that is crazy cool need to improve the voice recognition but other than that it is pretty crazy

  • i want one to

  • How could I be living without it?

  • this pwns =D but err.. why the fuck do you have to use the webcam ( wich sucks) if it's a mirror LOLZ OFL OMFG OMFG =P

  • I want 1!!!

  • this IS a bad concept-... this is a fucking mirror that you touch. knowing that only 1 in 5 people washes their hands after they piss and shit, this makes me worry about what kind of diseases people will spread when they have rank-assed friends over.

    its is a cool concept, but they need to implement a "windshielf wiper" of sorts ^_^

  • A smart board mirror? WOW OMG! lol. thats cool but why a mirror?!

  • man, this is cool.  Too bad i really wouldn't need it.

  • im gonna have to agree with s04931 b/c the guy is controlling the mirror with the computer

  • lol this is fake, the guy standing behind the guy who is talking is controlling the mirror, and moving the video..

  • of course this is made in china y are they so god damn smart

  • We are getting WAY TOO lazy..Innovative but useless...

  • I think its not a bad concept, plus I bet this was made with limitedbudget. With more money I bet they can make this thing alot cooler and maybe use materials that wont let fingerprints stain so easily.

  • none of those sensors thta that screen uses makes it revolutionary technology.... voice recognition, touch sensitivity, and reflection?... big deal.
