HiMirror Slide Smart Face Mirror
Middle school and high school can be rough to say the least, especially when it comes to physical appearance. That unfortunate reality makes tech solutions promising to enhance one’s appearance all the more threatening. That’s where the HiMirror smart face mirror comes in. The tablet-looking device comes equipped with a skin analyzer and ambient makeup lighting as well as the ability to use voice and video chat.
The risks presented by this smart mirror, according to ParentsTogether, are twofold. On one hand, the augmented reality features used on the device can potentially lead to similar body image and mental health issues linked with social media. Additionally, HiMirror requires users to upload an image of their face to “track the progress of their beauty goal.” Those images could then in theory be sold off or exposed in any potential data breach.
