Designed by Rober Grynkofki and an entry in the Reece 2013 Bathroom Innovation Award, the mirror uses voice command and a [face and gesture recognition system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heymirror-smart-dressing-mirror) to give users a personalized bathroom experience. The Mirror 2.0 has two LCD displays behind a one-way mirror, with two sensors for motion and voice control. By connecting a smartphone or accessing the Internet, the Mirror 2.0 can detect the user’s bathroom experience and tailor it according to certain routines, such as [playing music while taking a shower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-rejuvenation-shower-system) or putting a movie on for those longer bathroom trips. The device can also display news and weather updates, display an e-book, moderate the temperature in the room and dim the lights. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Bathroom Fixtures:** Opportunity for companies to create innovative bathroom fixtures that integrate technology and personalize the user experience. - **Voice and Gesture Recognition Systems:** Potential for advancements in voice and gesture recognition technology to enhance user interaction and customization in various industries. - **Internet Connectivity in Everyday Objects:** Growing trend of connecting everyday objects to the internet to provide personalized experiences and convenience for users. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bathroom Fixture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for bathroom fixture manufacturers to integrate technology and create smart fixtures that enhance the user experience. - **Home Entertainment Systems:** Potential for home entertainment system manufacturers to incorporate voice and gesture recognition technology into their products to offer personalized and interactive experiences. - **Internet of Things (iot) Technology:** Opportunity for companies in various industries to explore the potential of IoT technology and develop innovative products that connect everyday objects to the internet. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Waterproof Bathroom TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-smart-magic-mirror-bathroom-tv.md) - [Dual-Use Smart Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thin-cast-smart-mirror.md) - [Interactive Beauty Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-micro-led-beauty-mirror.md) - [Bathroom Privacy Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathroom-privacy.md) - [Mental Health Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baracodas-bmind-smart-mirror.md) - [Mental-Health Smart Mirror Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mio-smart-mirror.md) - [Smart Health Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-omnia.md) - [Intelligent Illumination Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifx-supercolor-mirror.md) - [Health-Monitoring Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuralogix-longevity-mirror.md)
