From Philips’ HomeLab consumer electronics research incubator, a line of LCD televisions that can double as mirrors:
The Mirror TV uses a unique polarized mirror technology, which transfers close to 100 percent of the light through the reflective surface… For home use, Philips is currently testing more advanced versions that could connect the user wirelessly to the mirror, providing everything from news to traffic reports and health data, such as blood pressure or weight. Or, the mirror could display a cartoon that encourages children to brush their teeth longer and more effectively.
Mirror TVs should hit the market by 2005.
