8.An old story goes as follows.King took another wife,who had a magic mirror.The queen often asked the mirror,"Mirror,mirror on the wall,who is the fairest of all?"The mirror answered"You,Queen,are the fairest of all,"and the Queen was content,because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth.
Inspired by the fairy tale,a New York-based designer has come up with a mirror equipped with infrared (红外线的) technology that sends a live video to any cell phone,e-mail account or personal digital assistant (PDA) device selected by a shopper.
Christopher Enrich,chief technology officer for digital design company IconNicholson,said putting these mirrors outside store fitting rooms meant women could go shopping with their friends-even they are far apart.
"She could be in Paris,your mom,watching you try on your wedding dress(while you are in New York),"Enright told Reuters Tuesday as he exhibited the interactive (互动的)mirror at a trade show.
Using the interactive mirror,a shopper's friends can then text message back with comments about the clothes being tried on.
Shoppers can also use touch screens on the three-paneled (面板) mirror to choose matching shoes or accessories (配件),Enright said.
The left-hand panel has a touch screen that allows a customer to select a different suit from a database,and then see how it looks on her in the center mirror without physically putting the clothes on.
The right-hand panel has a screen offering more information about other shoes or accessories the shopper also might like.
Enright said teenagers were already using their cell phones to send pictures to their friends when they were out shopping."This is…adding technology to something we already do,"Enright said.
