LISA - virtual mirror in Flash
Looks like an early test of a Flash-based virtual mirror by Tastenkunst that lets you try on glasses.

A slow frame-rate here but looks promising largely because it does not require an exe like the ray-ban’s virtual mirror developed by FittingBox and requires user to select tracking points (watch).

Nor does it require a separate browser plug-in like the ATOL opticians virtual mirror developed by Total-Immersion. A plug-in is particularly frustrating because after downloading the installer you have to close all your tabs, run the installer, restart your browser and then navigate all the way back to the AR app. How unfriendly?
