Title:
- Heaven's mirror: mirror illusion realized outside of the mirror
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
”Heaven’s Mirror” makes the boundary between the world inside and outside of the mirror continuous. Prior works only focus on the relationship between the actual object and its reflection. Our work focuses on the physical relationship between the real and the mirror realms by using a mirror illusion linking both worlds. The mirror sometimes provides an illusion which distorts physical law: leaning of the horizon, twisting a solid object, cloning an object, and so on. In this work, you can experience three modalities of feedback that make the alteration of physical law caused by the mirror illusion become real. These are motions of a real object with respect to the horizon in the mirror, haptic feedback that seems to twist the object, and an increase of a canon song’s complexity as the number of reflections increase. Through these modalities. Heaven’s Mirror allows you to feel the world inside of the mirror, existing, connecting with, and affecting the real world.
