At IFA in Berlin has been presented many innovative and simply amazing devices from the number of consumer electronics. Some we have already told you (as, for example, the first printers Samsung's Android), but others remained behind the scenes. Is to say that for all the time of the exhibition and was not something more wonderful than "smart" mirror from Panasonic, which has made a detailed review of the information resource Engadget journalist Dana Wallman. And if the device is not a breakthrough in the industry to create "smart" devices, then at least - the most extraordinary use of all currently available technologies.
The very idea of a "smart" mirror is not new. The same company Panasonic a few years ago has already shown its interactive mirror displays designed to restore patients who underwent heavy operation. But, by and large, to call them a full-fledged "smart" mirror was impossible; it was just a great use of motion capture, peeped in the gaming industry giants Sony and Microsoft. What was presented at IFA 2014, has a somewhat different nature.
Mirror from Panasonic, announced at the show, still in the prototype stage. However, this does not prevent him to enthrall all visitors to the stand, where it is installed. The company is positioning its developer device as one of the solutions for the implementation of the concept of "smart" home, as well as for use in beauty salons and department stores. Available at this stage of the development of the function is more suitable for the boudoir representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. According to Dana Wallman, mirror can analyze the state of the user's face and to offer digital versions of make-up. The most interesting is that in the future the device can be, for example, to synchronize the calendar with your smartphone and in accordance with the planned events in advance to pick up make-up options (including by using virtual imaging).
The principle of operation is intuitive and mirrors in theory should not pose a problem to use. With the help of cameras, special sensors and special software device creates a larger holographic image of your face, and examines in detail the condition of the skin. The software is able to detect uneven tone, wrinkles, smile line, dark circles under the eyes, and other problem areas. After the conducted analysis mirror his verdict and, if necessary, using the built-in database and Internet connectivity offers options for correcting problems found.The presenter to demonstrate the capabilities of the device used a remote control, but at the time of manufacture mirrors for sale all manipulations can be carried out using voice commands. As noted above, this development is in the prototype stage, and any specific time of emergence of "smart" mirrors from Panasonic on the shelves, unfortunately, no.
