The Mirror That Only Reflects When You Smile

A stranger came to the door at eve, And he spoke the bridegroom fair. He bore a green-white stick in his hand, And, for all burden, care. He asked with the eyes more than the lips For a shelter for the night, And he turned and looked at the road afar Without a window light.

The bridegroom came forth into the porch With, 'Let us look at the sky, And question what of the night to be, Stranger, you and I.' The woodbine leaves littered the yard, The woodbine berries were blue, Autumn, yes, winter was in the wind; 'Stranger, I wish I knew.'

Within, the bride in the dusk alone Bent over the open fire, Her face rose-red with the glowing coal And the thought of the heart's desire.

The bridegroom looked at the weary road, Yet saw but her within, And wished her heart in a case of gold And pinned with a silver pin.

The bridegroom thought it little to give A dole of bread, a purse, A heartfelt prayer for the poor of God, Or for the rich a curse;

But whether or not a man was asked To mar the love of two By harboring woe in the bridal house, The bridegroom wished he knew.

There’s a new high tech mirror that’s been specially made for cancer patients. It will only work as a mirror and become reflective when a user smiles into it.

The device is similar to a tablet and needs to be plugged in. It comes with a mirror as well as a built-in camera and a smart technology that works through a propriety software. By using facial recognition it captures the face of the person and triggers the surface of the mirror to become reflective when it detects a smile.

Just like any other mirror, it can be hung on the wall or can be put on a table or desk. The biggest difference from a conventional mirror is the price, with a hefty cost of $2000-3000.

Turkish industrial designer Berk Ilkhan decided to shift his focus on products that would help cancer patients experience more joy after having a family member suffer through cancer treatments.

He explains that it was a challenge for her to look in the mirror and acknowledge her situation. Just like how we smile when we’re happy, it goes both ways. Our facial expressions can in fact affect how we feel, smiling can make you happy.

Ilkhan who studied at the School Of Visual Arts in New York has also spent a significant amount of time in hospitals talking to cancer patients and doctors in Turkey, where he understood even more how much support and morale are needed for changing someone’s experience.

It took him an entire two years to design the mirror and is now producing the mirror in limited quantities. The product will soon have a kickstarter campaign with the goal of lowering the cost of the mirror to $500. He also would like to donate the mirror to various hospitals when is financially able to.

Despite his incredible and heartwarming intentions, not everyone has received his mirror so well, feeling as though it is rather condescending and that the price is exploitative. Some has even seen it is comparable to women being harassed on the street to smile.
