Myra Mirrors Wants to Outfit Every Bathroom With An AR-Enabled Mirror
In the summer of 2015, Bertolet founded Mississippi-based Myra Mirrors with his co-founder Pontus Andersson to build their own line of smart mirrors along with customizable smart glass surface software, ReflektOS.
“What we’re doing with our software is providing developers with a clean, transparent canvas, if you will, when they’re creating the application,” says Bertolet. “We want them to create solid augmented reality applications. We will license this to developers to get into our facet store and it will be free of charge.”
Their first products are all-in-one reflective mirrors with a 10-inch makeup mirror and a 27-inch wall mirror options. They come equipped with an operating system kit, augmented reality capabilities, and an in-device app store. While customers can add cameras if they prefer to do so, the hardware doesn’t come with one embedded to protect the customers’ privacy.
“Our RGBW light bar helps you control the lighting on your face, if you want to simulate different environments with makeup,” says Bertolet. “It functions as a premium Bluetooth stereo speaker as well.”
The Myra Mirrors team is in the process of raising a funding round after forming strategic partnerships at Consumer Electronics Show expo earlier this year. The funds will help the Mississippi-born startup kickstart production and scale its product after perfecting the prototypes.
