Time Lag Mirror / Now As A Downloadable Program On Your Computer

Not just to be weird, has actual utility.

It's a camera and screen that acts like a mirror but you can adjust a time lag with a knob at the bottom. One second, two, maybe up to 5 or 10.

So you turn your head to see of you've shaved that part of your neck smoothly enough then turn back and look directly at the side view still on the screen. The knob can be mounted on a sliding control that you can use to rewind and stop at certain times in your shave, brushing your hair, putting makeup on whatever. Could also have a regular mirror made of one way glass that transforms to the camera when the brighter video screen is turned on behind it. Could have part of the screen be the video portion.

Plus if you leave it on a 3 or 4 second lag might give your mornings a surreal feel. Plus if it includes sound, you could say "Good morning doc! Lookin' good buddy!" and that would be the response you'd get. Might actually be a good way to do morning positive affirmations.

But mainly for shaving.

Addendum: Downloadable app that does this with the cam and screen on your laptop. Take it into the bathroom to shave.

Actually see any angle of your face that you want merely by turning that side to the mirror then looking back. https://www.dropbox...4l&st=2pf99hob&dl=0
Push the button to freeze it, move the slider backwards to rewind. Never miss that one spot under your jaw again. [doctorremulac3, Jul 22 2024]

       Sounds like a good use case for foldable phones.

       Okay, I’ll say the controls, rewind etc are new. And the affirmation thing.

       (Hippo) That's a good idea too.   

       Question: How hard would this be to do on your computer just using your camera and screen?   

       Answer: It would be an app. Incredibly easy.   

       Question 2: This has to have been done, it has to be out there already no?
