Off the Mirror Tree

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

Daniel Rozin has come up with this very innovative piece of art. Hardly a functional mirror but it operates by using a camera to relay the image in front of it to a number of wooden blocks. These are manoeuvred using servo’s to represent the image fed by the camera. It’s very clever stuff that […]
