Inspiration of Visual Perception and Optical Illusion

This post are a collection of some thoughts on the scale of projections, the quality of projector, and the possibilities of using mirror to produce the illusion. The use of mirror in creating installation that save space is a practise that I've seen and aware. But I haven't go into detail research of the different use of mirror in illusion. So, I hope this collection of research will equip me with more knowledge of projection possibilities.



Pre-planned visual on the mirror allow user to direct interact
with the mirror by standing in front if the mirror

Anamorphic Mirror Illusions

I've tried working on projection table, using reflection of projector
under the table surface to create a table top screen display. The challenge was
the angle of the mirror that makes the projection proportionally accurate.
This project did a very good measurement and creative application of visual
communication allowing audience to participate in the installation and
have fun. Definitely a great inspiration!

When there's no light in the chair, the mirror surface of the chair
make it a good camouflage chair

3D Holographic
a series of mirrors propped onto the top of a smartphone
or tablet to produce the illusion of a 3D moving image

Spherical Mirror Projection
Using the measurement of distance between projector and mirrors to create
accurate projection that match the architecture of the environment.
Calculation of the spherical mirror is important in order to achieve intended outcome.
