This might be a ‘smart’ (not enough quotes) mirror that can be used to virtually try clothes. The brand name in the error message is a hint. I know they exist, I have yet to see one, and hopefully I will never see one
Theres a few really cool potential uses for these, but the tech isnt quite there yet.
Imagine seeing a jacket and like “Yeah it looks good on the professional model under ideal lighting conditions, but what about on me and what size would I need?” So you jump on your smart scales that also know your height, stand in front of the mirror and it extrapolates your measurements and shows you exactly what you would look like wearing a large.
Also some cool stuff going on with digital personal trainers that monitor your form in real time.
The downside to all this “Cool” is that its hideously expensive and almost guaranteed to be subscription but… still cool in theory.
While also selling you technology you don’t need that will spy on you in your home and scan your network for every device, open file share, and anything that has data it can harvest and share back to its corporate overlords, so they can sell it to Facebook and Google, along with any nudes it captures (because you know people will set them up in private spaces).
Edit: This particular one is apparently a workout product, which I’m unfamiliar with. I guess that’s … fine? (I don’t get how it’s functionally different than a laptop on a a table if you’ve already got mirrors, but I mean… whatever.)
I was under the impression this was a smart mirror used to virtually try on clothes.
My comments about data exfiltration and spying (just maybe not nudes) still stand.
Why does a mirror need a computer exactly?

for showing you ads as you wash your hands, and spying on you
Joke’s on them then

IG-filter for real life? :D
When your ego can’t handle how you actually look.

So it’s to sell you more shit you don’t need?

Wild what some people can be convinced they need/want.
Just because its vapid stupid consumer privacy invading bullshit doesnt mean the tech isnt cool or interesting.
Fair
you could also just use it as a display for showing some data like date (none), time, weather, calendar, etc
Magic mirror?
To use the Lululemon Studio app I’m guessing.
