Amazon patents an AR mirror so you can try on virtual clothes.
Augmented reality is getting ready to help you look your very best; Amazon has patented a mirror that dresses you in virtual clothes.

The patent, first spotted by GeekWire, provides a ‘blended reality’ view of yourself wearing stylish outfits in virtual locations. A camera at the top of the mirror tracks the user’s body and then a screen behind the reflective panel works with projects to illuminate the picture. You could, for example, visit a virtual beach and then have the mirror dress you for the part with virtual t-shirts and shorts that follow you as you walk around. It’s not too unlike a Snapchat filter that paints over your face, for example.

Crucially, though, the patent claims to be using technology more advanced than what’s come before, producing more realistic results by controlling lighting using several projectors.
