A mirror image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect , it results from specular reflection off from surfaces of lustrous materials, especially a mirror or water .
Vector artwork is either drawn with lines, shapes and text or images are vectorized thus create vector shapes. Most cutters (also called plotters) require special software to load/edit the artwork and communicate with the cutter. Computer designed images are loaded onto the vinyl cutter via a wired connection or over a wireless protocol.
In the finale of Enter the Dragon (1973), Bruce Lee's character navigates a mirror maze by breaking through the mirrors. Francisco Scaramanga's "Fun House" in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun has a house of mirrors. In John Boorman's 1974 movie Zardoz, character "Z" (Sean Connery) battles against "The Vortex" in a mirror maze.
The original Cricut machine has cutting mats of 150 mm × 300 mm (6 in × 12 in), the larger Cricut Explore allows mats of 300 mm × 300 mm, and 300 mm × 610 mm (12 in × 12 in, and 12 in × 24 in). The largest machine will produce letters from a 13 to 597 mm (0.5 to 23.5 in) high.
With mirror anamorphosis, a conical or cylindrical mirror is placed on the distorted drawing or painting to reveal an undistorted image. The deformed picture relies on laws regarding angles of incidence of reflection.
Therefore, the transparency is placed face up (toward the mirror and focusing lens), in contrast with a 35mm slide projector or film projector (which lack such a mirror) where the slide's image is non-reversed on the side opposite the focusing lens. A related invention for enlarging transparent images is the solar camera.
Mirror writing on the hood of an ambulance in Australia. Mirror writing is formed by writing in the direction that is the reverse of the natural way for a given language, such that the result is the mirror image of normal writing: it appears normal when reflected in a mirror. It is sometimes used as an extremely primitive form of cipher.
Vertical axis mirror ambigrams find clever applications in mirror writing (or specular writing), that is formed by writing in the direction that is the reverse of the natural way for a given language, such that the result is the mirror image of normal writing: it appears normal when it is reflected in a mirror. For example, the word "ambulance ...
