The controller is coupled to the display to determine, from biometric information acquired from a sensor, a focal distance of a user facing an opposite side of the half-mirror, present content on the mirror in a first manner and a reflection of the user in a second manner in response to the focal distance corresponding to the display, and present the content on the mirror in a third manner, different than the first manner, and the reflection of the user in a fourth manner, different than the third manner, in response to the focal distance corresponding to the reflection of the user.

Abstract: An optical modulator that uses adiabatic tapers to change the width of the waveguides between multimode waveguides and single mode waveguides on a low-loss, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, electro-optic platform. The architecture enables the utilization of the fundamental mode of multimode wide optical waveguides that have lower optical propagation loss without sacrificing the benefit of the signal integrity and ease of control of single mode operation.

Abstract: In one example, a smart mirror. The smart mirror includes a display adjacent one side of a half-mirror, sensors to acquire biometric information of a user facing an opposite side of the half-mirror, and a controller coupled to the sensors and the display. The controller determines from the biometric information a focal distance of the user. If the focal distance corresponds to the display, the controller presents a user interface on the smart mirror in a highly-visible manner and a reflection of the user in a less-visible manner. If the focal distance corresponds to the reflection of the user, the controller presents the user interface on the smart mirror in a less-visible manner and the reflection of the user in a highly-visible manner.
