Understand the principle of planar mirror imaging, comprehend the changes in optical path caused by the combination of planar mirrors, and subsequently bring about visual changes. By using scene installations and different combinations of mirrors, visitors is placed in a special space, giving them an unusual visual effect.

Interaction type: Electromechanical, hands-on. The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.
