Philips Introduces Mirror TV

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the tv-tv-on-the-wall dept.

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."

    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.

    A teenage girl's dream! TV-Mirror in one!

    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.
