What will your face and shape look like in the future? This is perhaps something everyone is curious about. The answer to this question may be found in the intriguing story that follows.
Robin Gunnivelts: “I look so strange. Is it really surprising that I will look like this?“.
And Patrice Armas: “Oh, I look quite interesting in the mirror. I like a fuller face like this. I will try to eat more to look like this in the future“.
This is not the magic mirror from the fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It predicts the future and is a product of a French electronics company.
Mr. Martin Illsley, Director of Research at Accenture (France), stated: “This is not an ordinary bathroom mirror. It is a smart electronic device. It may not show a true image of you in the present, but it can give you an idea of what you will look like in 5 or 10 years“.
When you look into the mirror, you won’t see your face immediately; instead, two cameras mounted behind will take pictures. The sensors on the mirror record essential health information. From this data, the mirror will infer the future image of the person looking into it.
The researchers behind this mirror do not want anyone to be shocked or scared by what they see. They only hope that after the initial surprise, the person will change their lifestyle habits for the better.
