# Movement Mimicking X-Ray Exhibits This Digital X-Ray Mirror Devices Shows Anatomical Appearances By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-05-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xray-mirror References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3029709/a-remarkable-mirror-that-shows-what-you-look-like-under-your-skin) This x-ray mirror exhibit completely debunks the phrase 'beauty is only skin deep.' When you stand in front of the digital mirror device, it shows you what lies beneath the skin -- blood and guts and all. [University of Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-xray)-South [medical imaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-imaging-systems) researcher Xavier Maitre designed it to show what's going on in real time by using a Kinect camera. The same technology is used by medical professionals to make diagnoses. Typically it would take hours of scans to see how your organs and insides move as you do, but Maitre's interactive version works without the scanning process. The simulative x-ray mirror guesses the gender of the person walking by and creates a generic height-matched image that moves with them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive X-ray Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to create interactive x-ray technology that provides real-time insights into the human body without the need for traditional scanning processes. - **Kinect-based Imaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to develop imaging technologies that utilize Kinect cameras for medical diagnoses and visualization of anatomical structures. - **Virtual Mirror Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to design virtual mirror devices that provide users with a visual representation of their internal organs and movement in real time. ### Where This Applies - **Medical Imaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to revolutionize the medical imaging industry by incorporating interactive x-ray technology and Kinect-based imaging for improved patient diagnoses. - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to enhance healthcare practices by leveraging virtual mirror devices to provide patients with a comprehensive understanding of their internal anatomy and movement. - **Augmented Reality:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to integrate virtual mirror technology into augmented reality applications, offering users an immersive and informative experience of their own bodies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced Body-Scanning Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnia-1.md) - [Ailment-Identifying Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anura-magicmirror.md) - [Health-Monitoring Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuralogix-longevity-mirror.md) - [Smart Health Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-omnia.md) - [X-Ray Vision Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xar.md) - [Virtual Fitting Mirror Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovme.md) - [Breast Augmentation Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-yourself-in-sientra.md) - [Interactive Beauty Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-micro-led-beauty-mirror.md) - [Mental-Health Smart Mirror Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mio-smart-mirror.md)
