Store managers are hoping a magic mirror that tries your clothes on for you will help take the stress out of shopping - and lure consumers back from the internet.
The virtual changing room allows shoppers to sample outfits without putting them on - with the help of a 58-inch plasma screen and a depth-sensing camera.
The new device, which goes on display at Manchester's Trafford Centre tomorrow, allows shoppers to sample clothes from a number of retailers all in one place.
Using 3D technology, the mirror can superimpose dresses, skirts and tops over a live picture of a shopper's body as they move in front of a camera placed on top of the screen, the Daily Mail reported.
Movement sensors and technology similar to that used on an XBox games console are used to judge the consumer's size and distance from the camera.
Shoppers can change the size or the outfit - from retailers such as Karen Millen and Coast - at the wave of a hand until they find the best match, before heading straight to the store to pick it up.
