Samsung had some cool new display innovations to show off this week. First is a next generation translucent display, which has improved colors and contrast compared to the displays we’ve seen pop up over the past couple of years.
But really cool is Samsung’s new mirror display, which can show dynamic imagery while reflecting the world around it. One cool use case Samsung envisions for a clothing boutique is to use it as a virtual fitting room.
Imagine being able to try clothes on without, you know, having to actually put clothes on. It doesn’t do anything to help you get the clothes that fit best, mind you, but you can at least envision how you’ll look once you do.
Samsung’s examples mostly used the reflective displays in jewelry stores and cosmetic departments where these sorts of things could be valuable to a shopper. Whatever they use it for, it’s pretty cool and wouldn’t mind seeing it in a wide range of stores at some point down the line.

When the price gets low enough for it to be in my home, it will be interesting:
1.) Great for the bathroom in the morning to see email, schedules, commute time, etc…
2.) Could make for some interesting porn products
Or like when mail has arrived in your mailbox? :)
I can’t wait until this is in our homes. I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but I’m really hyped with these advancements.
Someone stated how there’s going to be a point in human life where we start making advancements and breakthroughs faster and faster. Eventually we’ll be comping up with things in a yearly time frame.
I see android as the gift of humanity.
