Patented indeed. I always wonder just who the clowns issuing patents are.

Functionality…well, the demo is nonsense. Those are good applications for a mirror. The only reasonable application would be to display customizable information that could be of use to the person readying for work in the morning, perhaps traffic or weather applets, maybe display their calendar. Health info…might be workable, if it’s simple enough like a medication schedule for the elderly (they take tons of prescriptions and have a difficult time remembering what pill when and how often).
The idea is to make it useful, not to paint flowers on it or play another idiotic, time wasting game on it, which by the way already has about a billion other interfaces better suited for a gamer.

One thought how it could work: maybe it uses VIKUITI film for rear projections and 2-way mirror??? :)

Also, before anyone calls me a hater, I should point out that it is totally freakin’ sweet, and an extremely high quality implementation of the design.

There’s no way he will be granted a patent on this. It’s the same DIY touchscreen setup that has been making the rounds for at least the last 3 years, and using 2-way mirrors with displays is already an established industry for high-end construction. The only thing he’s doing differently here is using an extremely bright projector to get a better image quality than can be achieved with an LCD screen.

Of course after I saw this video I went out and bought a 2 way mirror to use with my existing touch screen. :)

Its easy to make a multi-touch screen, this one was just a 2way mirror.
Projector, IR LED’s, modified Web cam… Done.

Same thing, just using a mirror for the surface.

Yeah mirror screens were also in almost every movie set in the future in the last what, 5-10 years. Still, I need to get one of these.

The ultimate would be if (when) a camera is used with a record of all of your clothes/makeup or even clothes that you don’t yet own, to show you what you could look like. That will probably take a couple years to run smoothly, but I’d buy it.
