Abstract :
Sometimes, mirrors provide illusions that distort physical laws. In these methods, the illusions become "real" as your visual, tactile, and auditory senses are immersed in the world inside the mirror. Our methods allows you to experience a mirror illusion through three modalities of feedback (visual, haptic, and auditory) and perceive a boundary less transition between the real world and the world inside the mirror. This approach is expected to open new possibilities for using mirrors in the fields of media art or virtual reality.
