above: the mirror in 3 parts(3rd part purely hypothetical)

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a computerized, sensor-based “magic mirror” that analyzes muscular activity and shows real-time computer-generated images of how hard the user’s muscles are being worked while exercising.

The Pink Tentacle article continues in-depth. They talk muscle mapping data, benefits to medical science, and increasing general health performance. All we saw was: Build better robots. Make them like us. Give them plans.

All of this research originates from Tokyo, of course.
