Mirror, mirror, on the wall: How would I look with a cop ’stache?
Thanks to Panasonic, I now know. The electronics company is showing off a “smart” mirror prototype amid its rows of home appliances at the International CES this year.
The mirror has an embedded camera that scans and projects an image of your face on top of your reflection. Then it offers suggestions and lets you try out different looks by applying digital makeup and facial hair.
Panasonic first demoed this at IFA in Berlin this past fall, but CES 2015 is our first time checking it out. And as with many of the wares we’ll see this week, the company hasn’t said when this will be available to consumers or how much it will cost.
See how it works in the video below:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
