The next generation of mirrors

We've come a long way since the first manufactured mirrors made out of pieces of polished stone such as Obsidian, over 8000 years ago! Still there wasn't much difference between the mirrors made back then and the mirrors we're used to nowadays... well at least until now. Sure, mirrors can now be equipped with television, and many high end hotels are now using this technology, but the real revolution comes from Philips who created the interactive mirror. This mirror takes things one step further by enabling users to check the weather, keep track of their weight, check the back of their head, play and more. All that without even having to actually touch the glass! Genius!
