magic mirror
Truthful glass oracle
A magic mirror is a mirror in folklore and fairy tales that possesses supernatural powers—most famously the one in Snow White that answers the queen's questions about who is fairest.
The term extends to any mirror-like device that reveals hidden truths or shows distant scenes: The app acts as a magic mirror, showing how you'd look with different hairstyles.
In smart home technology, a magic mirror is a display behind one-way glass that shows information while functioning as a mirror.
