Computerized method for simulating looking into reflective mirror by operating the system in an idle mode and when presence of a user is detected in a field of view of the camera, switching the system to virtual mirror mode wherein the system performs the steps comprising: transforming the images captured by the camera to generate mirror images; storing the mirror images; displaying the mirror images on the monitor; and, determining whether the user has an existing account and, if so, opening the user account and displaying thumbnails corresponding to the user account on the monitor; if the user has no existing account, setting a temporary account and so long as the user is still in front of the monitor, enabling the user to control the temporary account; and, once the user exits the field of view, returning the system to idle mode.
