Not So Smart Afterall

gizmag Article: Accentures intelligent mirror

"February 14, 2005 Accenture Laboritories is working on an intelligent mirror that analyses your behavioural patterns and can show you what you'll look like in five years time. The mirror is designed as a health-aid to assist people in visualising the long term outcomes of their behaviour and modify their behaviour accordingly."

Accenture calls this the "Intelligent Mirror", but if this mirror was so smart it wouldn't show women what they'll look like in five years, it would show them what they looked like five years prior otherwise this mirror is probably getting broken. Check out the picture though. What kind of hard lifestyle is this woman living that she's gonna go from the young, healthy, vibrant look on the left to the old, gray, witch look on the right in a mere five years?!? They really need to step up the technology because the "behavioral image" example shown here looks about as realistic as the makeup in the Gilligan's Island "Jack and the Beanstalk" episode where they tried to make Ginger look old and decrepit.
