An infinity mirror effect viewed between paired mirrors in a public bathroom. The infinity mirror (also sometimes called an infinite mirror) is a configuration of two or more parallel or angled mirrors, which are arranged to create a series of smaller and smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity.
1901 diagram of a version of Howard Grubb's collimating reflector sight designed to make a compact version suitable for firearms and small devices. Ambient lighting of the reticle was improved by placing it facing up and bouncing it off a relay mirror then off a concave collimating mirror Prototype of the Grubb reflector sight attached to a rifle
The room is a reflection of Kusama's hallucinations that she had had since she was a child. The installation, which is mostly made up of LED lights and mirrors, allows the viewer to "obliterate" themselves and unite themselves with the room.
Infinity mirror – Parallel or angled mirrors, creating smaller reflections that appear to recede to infinity; Iterated function – Result of repeatedly applying a mathematical function; Mathematical induction – Form of mathematical proof; Mise en abyme – Technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, or a story within a story
A one-way mirror is typically used as an apparently normal mirror in a brightly lit room, with a much darker room on the other side. People on the brightly lit side see their own reflection—it looks like a normal mirror. People on the dark side see through it—it looks like a transparent window. The light from the bright room reflected from ...
A toy kaleidoscope. A kaleidoscope (/ k ə ˈ l aɪ d ə s k oʊ p /) is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces (or mirrors) tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of these mirrors are shown as a symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection.
They work by combining a spherical mirror's ability to reflect light back to the same point with a large lens at the front of the system (a corrector) that slightly bends the incoming light, allowing the spherical mirror to image objects at infinity.
The Museum of Illusions refers to this type of mirror as an "antigravity mirror" because as it rotates once around the line-of-sight axis, the reflected image rotates twice, appearing upside-down when the joint is horizontal. Another type of non-reversing mirror can be made by making the mirror concave (curved inward like a bowl).
