Oh, look, it's a video!

A while back (read: when it was still warm enough for me to wear a tank top) I headed over to the Infosys Technologies building to check out a wacky new contraption created in collaboration with The Big Space. Called the Magic Mirror, it's an interactive touch-screen computer designed for store dressing rooms so that they can improve the customer experience while simultaneously boosting profits. And here's what we saw.

Awesome? Creepy? Annoying? Just plain cool? You decide.
