Prada is opening a new store in Manhattan with something called "elastic time" mirrors.
Move slowly and the mirror reflects your image back to you normally.

This Wonderlandian trick is pulled off with hidden cameras and a screen that masquerades as a mirror.Cool. Popular science (mostly fluff) story here (via harrumph)
