MIRROR MIRROR ON the wall, capture me the hottest selfie of them all.

Yes, this is the future. Designers have invented a magical mirror that will take the perfect selfie for you.

The S.E.L.F.I.E. or Self Enhancing Live Feed Image Engine was created by digital agency iStrategyLabs to combat the growing and serious problem of not being able to fit everyone in a selfie because your arm isn’t long enough.

It consists of a Mac Mini computer hidden in a cabinet behind a two-way mirror and a web cam – the Mac has software that recognises your face and begins to take the photo, while LED lights embedded in the mirror indicate when it’ll be taken.

The photo is then automatically posted to Twitter, because duh.

Here’s a video of it in action:
