A couple of weeks back I was told about an innovative 'Virtual fashion mirror' from Cisco. As well as being covered by the BBC, Cisco also blogged about it here:

Although this immediately gained the interest of the techie press and the online fashion community, a little digging found that this technology is still in its infancy and that the actual technology isn't available right away.
Now Microsoft have demonstrated their Holoflector, a large translucent mirror with an LCD panel behind it, connected to a Kinect camera
.

Is this the future of retail?
