# Matrix-Inspired Mirror Displays This Digital Mirror Will Transform Your Hand into Numbers By Tiffany | Published 2013-12-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-mirror1 References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/technology/d-i-g-i-t-digital-mirror-display-by-teehanlax-labs-11-24-2013/) Toronto-based design studio teehan+lax labs has recently created a digital mirror called ‘D.I.G.I.T,’ which is essentially an [interactive real-time digital mirror](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loook-ai) that displays shapes in computing paradigms. It was created with 48 individual [seven-segment panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triaxial-numechron-clock). The electronic components rely on light and are more physical than regular computer monitors built in alpha-numeric form. “The design was straightforward -- each display was controlled by its own microcontroller, and each of those was sent commands from a central microprocessor,” said the design studio lab on the digital mirror. The application in the device is installed with a camera that is able to flip the numbers on and off depending on who or what is in front of the digital mirror. There is no other cabling apart from a single 5V 4A wall plug.
