How two parabolic mirrors facing each other, called 3D Mirascope, create a hologram image [📹 homeschoolingnet:

The phenomenon was discovered by a university janitor clearing out a stack of old parabolic reflectors from a cupboard. He told a young professor, who published a paper about the effect, with the janitor as co-author. They then filed a joint patent, and commercialised it as a toy

I wonder if this is similar to how our eyes perceive depth and dimension

frog later on back home, like: "was kidnapped by aliens👽, they made experiments on me and tried 3D technology..." 😄

I actually came across one of these in an old box my grandfather must have given me years ago. I was moving house so in maximum throw stuff out mode but this was so cool it got repacked. More than a toy. It’s science!

So cool!

Science has gone too far 🧐

Must try that. I might try and get hold of 2 old car / bike headlight reflectors.

So you put 3D object in it so you can see a 3d hologram of the 3d object you just put in it..... Brilliant!! 😂

Found it..

Looks like a flying saucer

I had a thing as a kid.. never knew how it works.. great video!

That's truly impressive! Using physics and light to create such amazing 3D Mirascope trickery is like magic. It speaks to us how amazing our world is. 🤯
