Turn a Monitor Into a Mirror

September 13, 2008 – 1:45 pm

hostileI’d like to use the screen of my laptop computer as a mirror! This may seem odd, and.. well, it is. Seems plenty of other people find this to be an off-the-wall request as well (I searched question/answer sites and people were downright hostile). I find it to be a very valid request (however odd) and I’m sure someone else out there does too. I mean, is it really that crazy a request? Isn’t this how inventions are born?

I had a PDA and would browse around for programs for it. One day I came across software that claimed to turn the screen of a mirrorPDA into a reflective (mirrored) surface. Ha! Well, funny or not, I found the idea interesting. I can imagine numerous times a quick mirror check would come in handy, and not just for the sake of vanity.

I haven’t had any luck finding something to turn a laptop (or desktop) computer screen into a reflective surface (reflective and clear enough to get an eyelash out of one’s eye). I would imagine this may be a manufacturing issue and not a binary one!

Ideas are welcome!
