AR glasses that understand mirrors and with a good physics engine could do wonders for the fashion industry.
You could try out clothes and accessories and anything else in front of any mirror and get incredibly realistic renders of how you'd look. You could even experiment with different colors trivially. It could even render multiple alternatives next to each other. And you could be assisted just like normally by a sales person who can give you personal advice and suggestions.
Just about anything involving design could benefit beyond fashion as well, like being able to try different colors or other customizations on a car, or with furniture, etc.
In fact you could even get live remote assistance with this like home decoration and layouts, getting suggestions with live renders for what to place where. Or that same service but for gardening.
Then there's IRL MMORPG, LARP:s would never be the same again. Imagine Ingress with AR.
- adrianN 11y agoIt's a lot easier to replace the mirror with a screen. You can cram a lot more CPU power into something the size of a mirror that doesn't have to run on tiny batteries. The fact that such "mirrors" are not widespread yet indicates that the tech either isn't there yet or that it's just simpler to try on the dress.
- Natanael_L 11y agoYou have a screen already, given that we're talking AR glasses. The mirror is for reducing latency, not screwing up your skin tone, etc. You only render the particular things to substitute, nothing else is needed. And it won't get your view angle screwed up, and trivially allows for multiple people.
