A demonstration of the basic working principles of the smart mirror, a new chip-sized device designed to measure the power of a laser in real time. Smart mirrors could one day be integrated into the manufacturing processes that create airplanes, cars, cell phones, and more. Researchers say the device could help manufacturers speed up the process of part qualification, which ensures that their goods meet engineering specifications.
