IoT services are now available in the forms of Samsung Electronics’ Mirror Display and LG Uplus-Hansem’s LTE Magic Mirror

The role of your everyday mirror is now expanding to that of information display. Samsung Electronics recently introduced Mirror Display product, its mirror of future, for the first time. Previously, LG Uplus launched LTE Magic Mirror which uses IoT technology to provide skin measurement information, together with Hanssem, the specialized total home interior company.

Samsung Electronics installed the 55-inch ‘Mirror Display’ product at Leekaja Hairbis, a famous beauty salon franchise in Korea. Through Mirror Displays in Smart Zone, which Samsung Electronics installed at Leekaja Hairbis, the beauty salon’s clients can access a variety of up-to-date trend information regarding beauty and hair care while using them as mirrors. Custom hair consulting has also become available through Mirror Display.

Seok-Ki Kim, Senior Director of Image Display Business, Samsung Electronics, stated “Mirror Display is an innovative product capable of providing both mirror and smart signage functions at hair shops, clothing shops, etc.” Samsung Electronics plans to start full-scale launching of Mirror Display products from 3Q.

LTE Magic Mirror from LG Uplus enables easy client-tailored skin care at home with its IoT technology. The large optical mirror of 80 cm x 50 cm (WxH) with optimized reflectivity and transmittivity has a built-in 800MP camera and a LTE terminal as well as LED lightings at around edges. When a client touches the mirror, its built-in high-resolution camera takes pictures of the client’s skin and displays current status of skin measurement information such as skin pores, reddish skin tone, wrinkles, skin textures, blemish, etc.

LG Uplus and Hanssem went a step further and achieved enhanced reliability of the LTE Magic Mirror’s measurement results through inspection by dermatologists and clinical tests on around 200 subjects. According to the skin measurement result, the LTE Magic Mirror can recommend not only custom skin care knowhow suitable for current status of the client’s skin but also proper beauty products. Additionally, various beauty contents are also provided.

Young-Man Kim, team leader of H2 team in charge of Home IoT, LG Uplus, said “expensive skin measurement equipment which used to be available only at dermatology or professional skin care shop is now conveniently available at home through IoT technology implemented by the product.”

[Reporter’s Journal] Domestic CPU core… Will it be money or a bomb?

Korea’s own processor technology introduced in 2001 wasn’t popularized, overshadowed by ones by such foreign companies as ARM, MIPS, ARC, Tensilica, etc. Above all, negative perception of domestic CPU technology made it difficult for it to enter relevant markets. With powerful overseas competitors possessing strong technologies, it is extremely difficult for Korean companies to develop competent domestic products. Even after launching new products, they need to exert as much efforts as when they were developing products to overcome industry’s prejudice toward domestic products.
