Philips Introduces Mirror TV
UnknowingFool writes "PCWorld.com is reporting that Philips is introducing mirror TV. It is a combination mirror with LCD monitor that will be rolling out to hotels. The screens will be 1280 x 768 resolution and come in 17, 23, and 30 inch sizes. It reminds me of TV PiP where the main part is the mirror and the smaller part is the monitor. Philips hopes to install it in homes later."
so if you mount it above your bed you and your loved one could either watch a porno, or be the porno.

Now you can shave and watch the news. As if running a razor blade over your face was not dangerous enough. =-)
But the mirrors themselves can be larger, with the image appearing as a window within an otherwise conventional mirror.

My dreams are coming true... Now, if only there were a way to combine a time machine and a DeLorean.
Good, so now we can get TV/VTs to watch the crap they put out themselves...I'm sure Douglas Adams would approve.

But why would anyone want a monitor in their mirror at home???
To check on how their internet-fridge is doing.
You can't take the sky from me...

YOU SUCK BALLS!

male-voice-over:feeling down? self-image problems?
man looks himself over, up and down in the mirror.
male-voice-over:You're an unfashionable slob! Look at these attractive people!
male/female models flash around him in a halo of images.
male-voice-over:You look like NONE OF THESE PEOPLE! They are attractive, you on the otherhand, well, frankly are not.
man's face drops, eyes tear up -- he looks dejected and sad, almost suicidal.
male-voice-over:What you need is a week Visit at ZHHA Spa and Resort, a Bottle of Sup-Er-Pretty hair gel, and a Free 30day supply of E-Z-Thin diet tablets. See the Checkout Counter for details!
man turns from mirror, picking up his bags - another person walks around the corner and the male voice over starts again: "feeling down? self-image problems?"
Hmrphm, cause and effect friends... do I *really* need the intrusion of TELEVISION in the mirror, where, formally, I used to be ALONE with myself?
This is just begging for a computer vision system to render your reflection, but delete the person sneaking up behind you. Then, once they scare the shit out of you, it switches back to mirror mode so the other person shows up again.

Yes, but I'm sure Sharon Stone isn't

"SWEENY!", screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. "325921 SWEENY-37! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You're not trying. Lower, please. That's better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the whole squad, and watch me."

Throw in voice recognition and we are there.
"Mirror, mirror... who is the geekiest of them all?"
Add a camera and image processing and it can really get itself into trouble.
