Microsoft has developed a mirror that can read your emotions


Microsoft's smart mirror, called Magic Mirror, and showcased at the InnovFest Unbound 2016, a digital technology conference in Singapore, has a facial recognition feature and can tell the weather, date, time and location.

You CAN be smart and good-looking. That's the message from Microsoft's Magic Mirror - a so-called smart mirror that can recognize and greet users, read their emotions and display the weather, time and other information. All the while looking just like a regular mirror.

"Imagine when you wake up in the morning, you're able to use the mirror to style your hair, do your make up, and while doing that, you can also view the weather," Izzat Khair, a member of Microsoft Singapore's developer experience team explained.
