You won’t be chanting “Mir:ror Mir:ror, on my desk” rhymes if you buy Mir:ror and want it to tell you some interesting info: instead you’ll be waving your possessions over its USB-connected sensor, whereby small RFID stickers ID the objects, and prompt your computer to display enhanced-reality style info. For example, wave your brolly near it and get a weather forecast, or your TV remote to get tonight’s schedule. So… it’s kinda weird, but sounds strangely compelling. Which is perhaps no surprise when you learn it’s made by Violet, who also bring us the weird-but-interesting animated internet “buddy” Nabaztag.
