VIDEO: A NEW AMAZON PATENT HAS SURFACED AND IT LOOKS INSANE!
The new Amazon patent that has surfaced showcases a mirror that allows a person to stand in front of it to see how they would look wearing different outfits – without having to try on the outfit in the first place.
The patent was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office with a January 2, 2018 date, although it seems the original filing dates as far back as 2015.
Although this is a mirror and it will reflect what it sees, this mirror is one that looks to provide the user with a "blended reality" reflection. The mirror is described as achieving this through the employment of various other pieces of tech – cameras, displays, and projectors – working in the background to capture the image of the person and then transmit back a digital image of a different outfit. The patent, however, takes thing a bit further, it describes the mirror's ability to show the wearer, in new clothes, in a new environment. Essentially highlighting how the user will not only look in the new outfit but how they might look in the outfit at a scene matching that specific outfit.
While this might seem like something a little far-fetched, and taking into consideration patents do not naturally equate to the arrival of a product to market, Amazon has seemingly been looking to make various inroads with the fashion retail segment lately. Keep an eye out for any updates in the near future, if any!
