Microsoft unveiled its latest “Holoflector” research project today. The augmented reality mirror is built using a large translucent mirror and separate LCD panel, providing an individuals reflection with the mirror against a virtual replica rendering on the LCD using Kinect. Holoflector uses an idea called sensor fusion to track a Windows Phone through Kinect to use it as an aid to augmented reality interaction.
