This Smart Mirror Scans Your Face to Evaluate Your Vital Signs
A new kind of mirror made its debut at CES, potentially giving you hints about your blood pressure, stress level and more.

There was a lot to unpack this year at CES, from the robots to the wacky and then over to the kitchen for new devices stirring up the tech scene. (You can check out CNET's Best of Show here.) But one device, in particular, claims to make quantifying your wellness a little easier. The Anura MagicMirror, made by digital health company NuraLogix, is the first mirror of its kind that analyzes the blood flow in your face to check vitals like blood pressure and estimate your risk of heart disease. It also guesses your age based on your skin, as well as how stressed you might be.
NuraLogixYou get this information by simply sitting down in front of the mirror, aligning your face with prompts on the 21.5-inch screen and holding still while the mirror's patented Transdermal Optical Imaging technology scans your face. There is no video, but your data is sent to the cloud, where it's analyzed. It's then displayed as different wellness metrics, which even include what the company says are metabolic risk assessments like those for fatty liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. To see how it's done, watch this video of CNET's Nick Wolny trying it out.
NuraLogix, which has an app for phones using the technique, says the mirror won't be marketed toward consumers for home use, at least right now. Instead, you could soon see it in gyms, clinics, businesses and other places people are monitoring their health and may not mind sitting down in front of a mirror to do so.
These sessions offer an opportunity for magicians to learn new techniques and expand their skillset. In addition to the educational aspect, there will be several magic competitions held during the convention. These competitions give magicians a chance to showcase their talents and compete for prestigious awards.
Caveats, perspective and the increasingly wonky world of wellness tech
Like other wellness devices meant to give you insight into your health, the MagicMirror isn't a medical device, and you shouldn't take its measurements as a diagnosis -- especially when its ratings could theoretically be thrown by factors as subtle as wearing makeup, lighting, your ability to sit still and the like.
But the company has submitted the MagicMirror's technology to the US Food and Drug Administration for clearance over some of its health metrics, with an anticipated approval of more standard ones such as certain heart health and breathing metrics this year, NuraLogix CEO Marzio Pozzuoli told CNET.
The MagicMirror works similarly to Anura, an app from NuraLogix that leverages the same type of technology and some artificial intelligence the company has patented under its Affective AI technology, DeepAffex. As new technologies including AI advance, refining both pattern recognition in medicine and at-home wellness tracking, the idea of a device like the MagicMirror may become less far-fetched.

The Mirror of Beryl : A Historical Introduction to Tibetan Medicine
Composed while its author was the ruler of Tibet, Mirror of Beryl is a detailed account of the origins and history of medicine in Tibet through the end of the seventeenth century. Its author, Desi Sangye Gyatso (1653 - 1705), was the heart disciple and political successor of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama and the author of several highly regarded works on Tibetan medicine, including his Blue Beryl, a commentary on the foundational text of Tibetan medicine, The Four Tantras. In the present historical introduction, Sangye Gyatso traces the sources of influence on Tibetan medicine to classical India, China, Central Asia, and beyond, providing life stories, extensive references to earlier Tibetan works on medicine, and fascinating details about the Tibetan approach to healing. He also provides a commentary on the pratimoksha, bodhisattva, and tantric Buddhist vows. Desi Sangye Gyatso's Mirror of Beryl remains today an essential resource for students of medical science in Tibet.

Reviews for "Stay Spellbound: Highlights of Blackpool Magic Convention 2022"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the schedule of the Blackpool Magic Convention 2022. The lineup of performers and workshops was incredibly lackluster. Many of the acts were repetitive and just didn't bring anything new to the table. It felt like I was watching the same old tricks that I've seen a hundred times before. The workshops were also quite basic and didn't provide any advanced techniques or insights. Overall, I was hoping for a more exciting and innovative experience, but unfortunately, the convention fell short of my expectations.
2. John - 2 stars
I attended the Blackpool Magic Convention 2022 with high hopes, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. The schedule seemed promising on paper, but in reality, it was poorly organized and lacked cohesion. The performances and lectures were scattered throughout the day without any clear structure, making it difficult to plan my day and decide which events to attend. Additionally, some of the acts were just not up to par, with subpar performances and lack of originality. I was hoping for a convention that would inspire and challenge me as a magician, but unfortunately, I left feeling unsatisfied.
3. Claire - 2 stars
The Blackpool Magic Convention 2022 schedule left much to be desired. The lineup of performers was quite underwhelming, with many of the acts relying on traditional and repetitive tricks. I was hoping to see some innovative and cutting-edge magic, but instead, I felt like I was watching a show from decades ago. The workshops were also disappointing, as they didn't offer any advanced techniques or valuable insights. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity to showcase the best and brightest talents in the magic industry.
