This week’s lecture is particularly pertinent to my project
idea because my product will have to make use of input and output for it to
work. I think that the way the mirror would identify what a shopper has brought
into a dressing room would be through RFID tags. This would be more efficient
than barcode scanning items and would require less work on the part of the
customer. The RFID tags could be passive tags, as they would not need to work
more than a few meters away from the mirror that would house the antenna, which
would be reading the data on the RFID tags.
The mirror would most likely be touch screen to utilize the
social media functions of the product. As such, it would be necessary to
include a touchpad in the design. The touch pad would incorporate the detection
of capacitance to allow the user to interact with the mirror.
Finally, during the designing process, there would need to
be special attention paid to the resolution of the image being projected on the
mirror. Fuzzy images due to a small number of megapixels in the captured image
would be unacceptable. The optimal shopping experience would incorporate the
best quality images possible to ensure the customer feels that they are getting
the a shopping experience closest to that of the real experience of trying
clothes on, without the hassle.
