Why does a mirror need a computer exactly?
Theres a few really cool potential uses for these, but the tech isnt quite there yet.
Imagine seeing a jacket and like "Yeah it looks good on the professional model under ideal lighting conditions, but what about on me and what size would I need?" So you jump on your smart scales that also know your height, stand in front of the mirror and it extrapolates your measurements and shows you exactly what you would look like wearing a large.
Also some cool stuff going on with digital personal trainers that monitor your form in real time.
The downside to all this "Cool" is that its hideously expensive and almost guaranteed to be subscription but... still cool in theory.
you could also just use it as a display for showing some data like date (none), time, weather, calendar, etc
