Meet “The Self Enhancing Live Feed Image Engine,” a mirror that can take your selfies for you.
The two-way mirror, also known as S.E.L.F.I.E., was created by marketing agency iStrategyLabs to bring a whole new meaning to taking a selfie. The device uses a Mac mini, a webcam and LED lights embedded behind a mirror as well as facial-recognition software to capture your photo. To take a selfie, the user just has to stand in front of the mirror and smile, which will activate the photo-taking process. S.E.L.F.I.E. will even post your photo on Twitter.
“We started thinking about how we could create a seamless and fun experience, where the trigger would be nothing more that a smile,” says DJ Saul, CMO of iStrategyLabs. “The S.E.L.F.I.E. mirror helps to demonstrate what’s possible by bringing together hardware, software and a great idea.”
As of now, the project is just an experiment, but you can contact iStrategyLabs if you’re interested in buying one.
