Claims18
An interactive mirror display device comprising:
- a one-way mirror that displays to a user in front of the one-way mirror a reflected image of the user;
- an electronic display positioned behind the one-way mirror and configured to display graphics visible through the one-way mirror;
- at least one sensor configured to touchlessly detect an object placed in front of the one-way mirror in proximity to the electronic display;
- and
- a computer system configured to determine a location of the object relative to the electronic display based on detection data received from the at least one sensor;
- wherein the computer system is configured to display an interaction element on the electronic display that is visible through the one-way mirror, and to perform an action when the object is positioned in front of the one-way mirror in proximity to the interaction element;
- wherein the electronic display is spaced from the one-way mirror so that the interaction element appears to the user in front of the one-way mirror to be located a preselected distance behind the one-way mirror;
- and
- wherein the computer system is configured to perform the action when the object is positioned so that a reflected image of the object, as seen by the user in front of the one-way mirror, appears to contact or intersect with the interaction element.
