How does this mirror work

You probably already know this, but it's worth mentioning. The video on the site is just a mirror image of what you see on your screen, as opposed to a mirror in the traditional sense. 

The reason is because it's not just a regular mirror but a surface that relies on the internet to display the image on your screen. The best analogy I can give is a projector. How does this work? The feed coming from your phone's camera (if you're on a phone) or your computer's webcam (if you're on a computer) is captured and then projected back at you.

Who needs to use this online mirror

That is a common question that I get from people. Some people do need this, obviously, because the page has visitors! 

I find this free mirror useful for when my mobile phone is not around and I want to take a look at myself. Some people carry a makeup mirror in their purse, but this allows them to see themselves in a bigger and more convenient image. 

When you load this mirror online, your browser will ask you to allow the mirror to access your camera. By clicking on the “allow” option, the mirror will be activated on the phone or on any other compatible device. You can also capture pictures on online camera sometimes. Given below are some uses and benefits of having this camera reflection at your hand:

1) Trying on Makeup 

With this online mirror, you can try on new makeup and can see what your makeup looks like. Mostly, a physical mirror would be available for you in the shops, but sometimes it is not possible to access one. In such situations, a web mirror is a great tool for trying on makeup, because it works on a computer or mobile so it is easy to see yourself anywhere. Also, while doing your makeup in the car, you can use an online mirror easily.

2) Testing New Glasses 

When you are in the store trying different pairs of glasses and trying to decide which one you should buy, you certainly need a mirror. With this online mirror, simply try the glasses on while using the mirror and you can see which pair fits on your face the best. 

3) Easy to Carry

When you have a lot of stuff in your bag pack, it is difficult to carry a physical mirror, as it is very fragile and can easily break down. As an online mirror is in the electronic gadget, it is very easy to keep it with you.

4) Using Filters 

Some built-in beauty filters also come with a mirror reflection. These filters also improve the lighting of the image and display a clearer version of you. You can use these filters to capture some really good pictures and can edit them using the same online mirror too.

5) Zoom In and Out 

Unlike physical mirrors, you can zoom in and zoom out to see each and every detail of your face on online mirrors. To see if your baby hairs are properly fixed or not or to check whether your face is clean after eating something or not, you can zoom in on an online mirror and can check it. 

 

Why does the online mirror look bad and fuzzy in a low light setting?

We would argue that a regular mirror is also pretty hard to look at in low-light, but even if it would be hard to see yourself in the mirror in low light, the image would still look “sharp”.

Remember, though, this is not a regular mirror: it works through the camera. And if you know a bit about cameras then you know that they have a hard time taking pictures in a low light setting.

They don’t know what to focus on, and there is a lot of “noise” (little ugly pixels) generated in the image because the camera’s sensor needs more light. So that’s exactly what happens here. A little more light around you should fix this.
