A new ($1,395) smart mirror takes a selfie of your naked body to help you track your fitness and figure changes. Yes, you read that right. Tracking the changes of your body can be difficult and this mirror makes all that and more so much easier. This mirror makes for the perfect device for people who are constantly concerned about their body shape and type.

The mirror creates 3D maps of the body highlighting areas where the figure has undergone change. Each scan is stored on an accompanying smartphone app that helps you track your fat percentage and muscle gain over time. Some experts have revealed that hackers could track these revealing images but Naked Labs, the company that has designed the 'world's first home body scanner', says all the data it stores is safely encrypted and detached from customer names.

Designed by a Silicon Valley start-up, the project received £11 million ($14 million) in funding led by venture capitalist firm the Founders Fund. And thanks to the cash flow, shipping the device to customers has been made possible too.
So, will you be getting yourself a 'smart mirror'?
