Using a flat panel TV, camera and some really cool software the Fraunhofer Institute has been able to create a mirror that allows a person to see what clothes look like on them without even having to change. Here is how it works:
"The set up consists of a flat panel display with touch screen, a camera mounted above it and lighting to evenly illuminate users. They stand in front of the display wearing a green T-shirt, the camera captures their image and then a software algorithm replaces the green with whatever style the users choose. That includes different colors, logos and textures."

What is great about this is I can try on a lot more clothes in the morning than my usual 1-2 outfits. What would be even cooler is if it had recommendations based on weather and other things going on in the world so that it could pre-pick outfits for me that would work really well for the day. Oh well, we can have that later one...
