Cybertecture Mirror is a mirror monitor that is digitally displayed. It is the first of its kind to produce a visual display, on a mirror, with many applications to run at its disposal. The mirror is of a standard size (80 x 50 x 5 cm) and can be put anywhere in the house, where appropriate. The interface is mainly controlled by a separate device (remote control or smartphone), but does incorporate some other forms of interaction (e.g. motion detection, voice recognition). The interface is also customisable, allowing for different choices in display themes, to the overall layout of the display. There are various applications available for the Cybertecture Mirror, some keeping you up to date on the latest News and Weather. But the main applications seem to be based around Health/Fitness. One of them involves lifting weights, whilst the mirror monitor checks to see if your posture and arms are positioned correctly (uses lines to guide you). There is also an add on which can check your weight and keep a record of it, to see how you've progressed. All of this data will be stored via cloud storage.Personally, I find this device to be quite a Novelty. Most of today's applications are available from pretty much any device, and it seems to be quite unnecessary to have this attached to a mirror. However, if you are a tech fanatic or person who likes to keep in shape, this is probably for you. The interface is quite slick, and is definitely a benefit for someone who likes to keep track of their fitness. Ideally, the designers created this mirror to be used in the bathroom, as it has waterproof protection. Overall I must say, the quality of the design is very good, but its usefulness seems to be somewhat lacking.
