If youre a fan of K-dramas and have struggled to find untranslated content, technology now has options to make this task easier.
Las Vegas, Nevada. It's common to go to a skin care store to get advice on the condition of your face and to be asked what you're looking for to guide your purchase. Now you can have this dynamic right in your home or more quickly through a smart mirror-screen that will tell you what kind of problem you may have on your skin and the products that will help you reduce the damage.
The Micro LED Beauty Mirror analyzes skin types and recommends personalized products and although this technology seeks to reach the hearts of companies that want to remodel their points of sale, users who wish to have this type of item can buy them like any other mirror you have at home.
“ Samsung doesn’t view TVs as one-way devices for passive consumption, but as intelligent, interactive partners that adapt to your needs,” said SW Yong, president and head of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, at the First Look conference at CES 2025.
It's worth noting that these types of prototypes have been around for the past few years, with Naked Labs unveiling one of the most technologically advanced (and most expensive) smart mirrors on display at the show in 2018. It's a combination mirror and smart scale that uses depth-sensing cameras in the mirror frame to map every inch of your body while the scale slowly rotates you.
The information obtained can be sent to trainers or clothing brands to know your exact measurements. The price of this product was $1,400 and although it was very innovative at the time, the brand failed to convince users to pay for this product.
In addition to this mirror, Samsung presented its AI bet on monitors and screens, highlighting the use of real-time transcriptions and televisions that are 'more aware' of their surroundings.
This system enables TVs to adapt to user preferences and offer autonomous and intuitive functions. In this way, screens become smart companions that enhance entertainment, simplify interactions and integrate a connected lifestyle.
Samsung Vision AI's custom features include:
Click to Search : Provides instant information about what's on the screen, whether it's identifying an actor or exploring related content, without interrupting the viewing experience. Very similar to streaming tools like Prime, when pausing a scene, but in this case you can watch without pausing.
Live Translate : Real-time translation of subtitles using an AI model, eliminating language barriers and allowing you to enjoy global content without interruptions.
Generative Wallpaper : Turn screens into dynamic, personalized artistic canvases that reflect the user's taste or occasion.
In addition to personalization, Vision AI integrates the displays with the SmartThings ecosystem that brings security and energy-saving solutions, such as Home Insights, which provides real-time updates on the home environment, such as security alerts and daily consumption reports, or Pet and Family Care that monitors the behavior of pets and family members and automatically adjusts the home environment.
The company also announced a partnership with Microsoft for its monitors, so you can now have a co-pilot inside these devices that helps define tasks, similar to how work tools like Teams do.
