Mi ero perso questo progetto del New York Times R&D Labs, uno specchio in grado di interagire con chi sta di fronte attraverso diverse interfacce: comandi vocali, riconoscimento facciale e gestures (grazie alla tecnologia Kinect di Microsoft).

Envisioned as a key fixture in your home, the mirror uses face recognition to call up personalized data, including health stats, a calendar, news feeds, and other information relevant to your morning routine. Voice commands switch between views, and gestures (via an embedded Kinect) activate content, including fullscreen video messages from other mirror users. An RFID-enabled shelf responds to objects that are placed on it, such as medications and personal care products, revealing personalized data. The mirror will recognize certain behaviors, such as when you schedule a trip or fail to get enough exercise, and recommend contextually-relevant content. If you’re interested, you can tap your phone on the mirror to sync the article for reading on the run or on our Surface Reader application.
