Magic Message Mirrors

Wicked stepmothers/queens/other-fairy-tale-characters take heed. Your chance of owning your own real-life magic mirror has finally come. The Magic Message Mirror is actually a mirror that doubles as an alert device, which, when connected to an automated home, would give the user visual and audible indications of things that are happening within the houshold, such as garage the door opening, or your bath already being set at the right temperature, and such other mundane stuff.

So don’t expect to see Snow White or some other Disney princess when you peek into the mirror! Speaking of cartoons, the concept had been developed for Themaddicts, Inc. by animatronics guru Craig Barrof, who was also behind Universal Studios’ King Kong attraction and who gave life to the T-Rex for the Jurassic Park films.

The mirror doesn’t come cheap though, as it would cost $ 22,000 when released to the market, and this is only for the model with 10 pre-set messages. You would have to pay $600 per additional message, if you choose among the 23 standard, and about $1,200 if you need to have messages custom-made.

This is just one of the many alternative forms of computer monitors we’ll be exploring soon.
