Mirror, Mirror In My House, What Purse Goes With This Blouse?

In an effort to get people to buy more shit that they don't need, a company has come up with mirrors that have RFID readers in them to read the RFID tags in clothes. These will mainly be in dressing rooms, so that the mirrors can tell you what some computer algorithm thinks will go great with that shirt.

Being demonstrated by the Paxar Corporation at the Material World show in Miami Beach, the magicmirror is intended to read the tags on clothing, and present the customer with accessories or coordinating items they might like to buy.

Being that I'm never in a dressing room, except save for a refridgerator-sized dressing room in Iceland, this does not effect me. However, I hope this technology doesn't get co-opted to overly flatter or overly tear apart our style choices. Also, and please no recording cameras in said mirror.

Now if there was only a way I could track them on the internet...
