Magic mirrors, a common feature in children's stories since the fairytale Snow White was famously made into a film by Disney, have recently been installed in several stores in the UK. Outfits can now be tried on without having to undress or even find the items in the store, thanks to these neat devices which are in fact computer screens. Stand in front of one and your body is instantly scanned and an image of yourself is displayed on the screen, with your measurements calculated automatically. Items of clothing can be chosen from on-screen menus and superimposed onto your own image, and shoes and accessories can be added to complete the outfit. The new look can be instantly shared with friends on Facebook if an icon is clicked, and the mirrors are often found in independent clothes shops but may be quickly introduced in larger stores across the country.
