Technology company Ombori works in conjunction with The Landmark Group to introduce a new [interactive shopping experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-media-system) placed in the Max Fashion store located in Dubai's Ibn Battuta Mall. It is a voice-activated retail assistant that is implemented into a mirror and screen. Customers are encouraged to approach the screen and take a selfie with the camera in the screen before it displays a series of [fashion suggestions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-stylist).

The smart screen functions as a [simple mirror](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-micro-led-beauty-mirror) and activates when it detects customers walking by. Shoppers can also browse through products, check inventory, and even make a purchase with the technology. Notably, the interactive screen is bilingual and can detect both English and Arabic languages.
