The latest menswear accessory is a Surface Book

As the line between fashion and technology continues to blur, Microsoft Japan is taking the well-trodden path of fashion collaboration to promote its Surface Book and tablets. Microsoft has claimed a corner of the upscale department store Isetan Men's in Shinjuku, Tokyo, stocking its hybrid PCs next to pricey fashion items. There's also a digital "hologram" mirror, which shoppers can use to see how they look in 360-degrees. Shop attendants scan you with a Surface -- of course -- while a platform spins you around. The results are then beamed to a floating display so that you can see how you really look. Browse the department store collaboration for yourself in our gallery:

Is this the changing room of the future?

Maybe. But it'll have to shrink down a little. Employees at the Surface pop-up store scan shoppers while they wear their prospective purchase and then reproduce a 360-degree view on the projection screen seen here. It's a floating, two-dimensional image, however -- less hologram, more Pepper's Ghost (with discerning tastes).
