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).
One-way mirrors for upper-level observation deck viewing down into a classroom (University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire) A one-way mirror, also called two-way mirror [1] (or one-way glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective from one side and transparent from the other. The perception of ...
Flip cameras' video quality was unusually good for their prices and sizes. [8] They can record videos at different resolutions. FlipHD camcorders digitally record high-definition video at 1280 x 720 resolution using H.264 video compression, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio compression and the MP4 file format, while the older models used a 640 x 480 resolution.

In this setup, the flip mirror is used as an accessory that helps to aim and focus. The device is inserted into the telescope drawtube just before the CCD camera. Operated through a small lever, the mirror can direct the light at right angles into a viewing piece when actuated "up" or free the light from the telescope to pass into the CCD ...
In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry).
YouTube VR allows for access to all YouTube-hosted videos, but particularly supports headset access for 360° and 180°-degree video (both in 2D and stereoscopic 3D). The interface shows videos behind two floating panels, with the video description and comments showing on the left panel and related videos or playlists showing on the right panel.
The mirror causes the mirroring, or at least the reflection does. But it's a rather subtle and elusive problem (at least to me). First of all, it is clear that that which we call a "mirror image" depends on how we rotate an object toward the mirror. If we turn it around its vertical axis, as we tend to do, we get the "backward" mirror image.
The same year, a Mr. Bilal Ghanty from France patented a "Warning mirror for automobiles". [2] The Argus Dash Mirror, adjustable to any position to see the road behind, appeared in 1908. [3] [4] Earliest known rear-view mirror mounted on a racing vehicle appeared on Ray Harroun's Marmon race car at the inaugural Indianapolis 500 race in 1911. [5]
