Shopping for clothes will literally take on a whole new dimension from November onwards if you happen to drop by Macy’s at New York’s Herald Square flagship store. What’s so different in there that is worth talkinga bout?

The mirror itself boasts multitouch capability, allowing you to pick out items such as tops, dresses, bottoms, and coats. Once you have made a choice, the item will cover your reflection as though you were wearing it.
