Amateur inventor does take on mirror
Like the stepmother’s bitingly honest mirror in the fairy tale of Snow White, Kevin D.’s imaginary mirror promises to offer its users a little more than just a regular reflection.
And although the mirror the amateur inventor is hoping to build is not quite as upfront as Snow White’s stepmother’s—it won’t be able to talk, for instance—Kevin said he’s dreaming that his mirror will show the truth better than the average looking glass.
The mirror Kevin hopes to create would not reverse images.
“If you have a mole on the right side of the face, my mirror will show the mole on the right side of the face,” he said.
He would only disclose that digital technology would be involved.
He is so confident that his design will work he has hired a Florida-based company to help him find a manufacturer for his “virtual mirror,” as he calls it.
Invent-Tech, an agency for would-be inventors, says on its Web site that it can help dreamers turn their ideas into viable, and profitable, products. Its services run from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Kevin would not reveal how much he paid, but said he has a two-year contract with the company. He said Invent-Tech is scouting for potential manufacturers for his invention.
“It will revolutionize the way people see themselves,” he said. “It is going to tell them the truth instead of a lie.”
