Virtual reflect destroys all the fun you have trying on outfits

August 27th, 2008 | Category: Gadgets, Wearables

The always-imaginative gurus at Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft never cease to amaze, and at that year’s IFA, they’re delivering once more. The so-called “virtual mirror” gives to-be garb buyers an accurate look at what different outfits look like on their person without requiring them to try a restricted thing on. Granted, shopaholics are apt to detest that thing, but anyone with better things to do than try on four sweaters to see which one makes them look fat should be totally in

love. The concept here is far from new, as we’ve seen both virtual makeover machines and fitting room enhancers before. Still, Fraunhofer’s dream of getting you suited up and out of the store in mere minutes is one we’d love to see come true. Just don’t ditch the traditional stalls too soon — we wouldn’t want any kind of worldwide rebellion.
