You should do a black spherical mirror! I saw one at a science museum, and it blew my mind. It's just a regular polished black plastic concave dome and it produces the craziest 3D reflections I've ever seen. I would love to see a video explaining how and why they work.

@@iamsushi1056 very difficult to produce properly too I’d imagine so doesn’t surprise me. In order for all that to work, you would need a very good algorithm and design that allows the stereoscopic viewpoint to stay even and properly spaced during viewing.

One of the cameras would always be guaranteed to be offset from the center, so one of them would be guaranteed to see something other than its own pupil.
When I was a child, I visited a bathroom that had two opposing mirrors on opposite walls and it was the first experience I can recall of ever experiencing eternity. But the first thing that I noticed was that , as the reflections continued into the distance, it became darker and darker with each reflection. Ever since, I had always wondered what a true eternal mirrored room would be like, if there was a source of none reflecting light and somehow no reflect of your POV.
I did this allllll the time as a kid with the tri folding bathroom vanity mirror. Angle both side mirrors and look to the side and see (what seemed like) hundreds of reflections
Woah! That effect with the pen self-intersection was amazing! I'd love to see more videos about 3D reflections like that, I had no idea that was possible
It's called a real image, formed by light rays reflected by the concave mirror from a point on the real object converging on another point in space. You can see them in a shiny bowl or spoon. There's an old knickknack they used to sell at Sharper Image-type places that looked sort of like a flying saucer with a hole on top--it was a pair of concave mirrors facing each other, and if you put a small object like a coin inside of it, a real image of it would appear in the hole, visible from most diagonal angles. It'd look pretty much exactly like the real object sitting on top of the saucer, in three-dimensional detail, but you tried to grab it you'd soon find it was not really there. If you looked directly down from overhead it would give the game away.
@@MattMcIrvin omg yeah my friend has one of those, I'm amazed I didn't even think about it during this video until you brought it up. I wonder what the definition of "real" is in this instance "real image" I'm gonna have to look that up 🤔
@@MattMcIrvin thats the first thing I thought of, those toys were really cool. It literally looks like the object is sitting on top of the ufo-shaped thing until you try to grab it and your hand goes right through it :D

Looks like this is something that needs to be done as an interactive art project. Someone has to build a huge mirror sphere that can close around you for a bit
@Someoneishere114 you already are there. You surrendering to that is heavenly. You are fighting, arguing that its not is grief. The cycle of grieving.

Yes, for real. If you put an atom real close to the center, you should be able to see it :) Action Lab bro should give that a try maybe with his mirror.
It’ll probably just be a solid colour since the laser beam will eventually hit the camera lense making anything else hard to see since it’s over exposed.
Starting at 7:13 he puts a laser pointer in the one hemisphere mirror, but for some reason he had it turned OFF. Maybe he tried it off camera and didn't want to record it.
@@Geoffr524 I'm not sure about the power of the laser pointer he had but if it was somewhat powerful maybe he was concerned with damaging the camera if it took a direct hit? Idk though since I'm a bit out of touch with tech like cameras and such...
Action Lab guy really puts in the effort to make us these videos and I love em! Sadly he is now facing 2 months in jail for breaking the Chicago Bean for science 😔
you can probably buy one, or like me, try to make it myself xD smear some molten aluminum on a glass bowl/hemisphere while hot, and let it slowly cool.
@@Metal_Master_YT bro loved the idea, even though aluminum is easy enough to work with its not near shiny enough!, finding the right bowl and casting in sand was easy but this chunk of shit needs polished hard..
@MrThis1dude what I described is basically how all mirrors are made. most glass has a naturally smooth surface (from being molten), and since its amorphous, it does not form crystals and therefore keeps that smooth texture after cooling. while it's still semi-hot (at melting point of aluminum), you can put a thin layer of aluminum metal on it, which will wet the glass and form a mirror. I've seen people also do this with gallium, but aluminum has a higher reflectivity of visible light than most other metals with the exception of silver. aluminum on its own will become rough upon cooling due to crystallization and shrinkage, so the usage of smooth glass is a key factor here. I should mention that the mirrored surface is the surface on the inside (between the aluminum and glass), not the outside surface that is exposed to the air. Aluminum reflects about 90% of visible light compared to 95% for silver and less than 90% for basically all other metals.
@@MrThis1dude a plastic bowl? idk how you would ever get that to work. I guess I should test my method on some glass and see what happens. technically my method varies from the usual in that I am making the thin layer of aluminum by melting instead of by vacuum vapor deposition or chemical deposition.
I think you should try to do this with the world’s most reflective material so light doesn’t get absorbed so quickly. Or make an infinite mirror with regular mirrors compared with the more reflective material and see if you can get more reflections before the light he gets absorbed
Light bounces of millions of times within a matter of second. Do you still think that it will last for even 1 milli second even if the mirror is reflecting 99.99% of light😊
What he means by quickly is after how many reflections light gets fully absorbed. Not after how many seconds. If you can increase reflectivity by one order of magnitude (99.99% vs 99.9%) you get ten times the reflections.

A mirror ball reflects all of its surroundings. Only reflections of things hidden behind the ball are not seen when we look at the ball. M C Escher made an amazing drawing based on this effect.
Thank you, I also was wondering it some days ago and thought I would see some really interesting stuff. But it wasn't that different of a thing except when it looks like you pass through the image of yourself to enter a black space behind the image.
This was an incredible exploration! I never thought about what the inside of a mirror would look like. Your experimentation and explanations make complex concepts so easy to understand.
We did half of this in high school physics lab, we put a small lit light bulb at various points on the spherical mirror axis and sure enough at some point you get a magnified real image of the bulb floating in air. It's the floating coin illusion. Some magnifying make up mirrors are actually a partial sphere and are fun to play with.
Hi, I have a very big curiosity What if the sphere has a mirror surface on the inside but on the outside you can see inside, and you point a laser through the sphere What is gonna happen inside if the mirror surface reflects the laser beam towards the other side of the sphere and that is a mirror as well?
Could you do the same experiment but with one-way glass instead? So light could enter the sphere from outside but it would be reflected on the inside...
A Super cool experiment my mother did once for an art class was to take four full length body mirrors, the kind you hang on a door, and tape them together facing inwards. Then cap the ends of the box with mirrors as well. You can cut down another mirror to do this. Have one end be hinged so it can open and close easily. Then crawl inside the mirrors. Once inside turn on a flashlight and experience true panic as you see the infinite worlds of the multiverse.
It's a cute little sticker you added to the camera, but it REALLY did a great job at giving a frame of reference to all the visual weirdness that happens inside a spherical mirror. Thank you!!! 🤯
One of the things that has always fascinated me is how the eye focuses diffuse reflection images. Looking at simplified diagrams it kind of makes sense but breaks down if you consider each point/area on your retina is getting the same point/area light from a diffuse area out there in the real world that is reflecting out at many angles. The curvature of our eye lenses perfectly maps incoming light from one point in space, regardless of reflection angle, back to a single point on our retina. It's not pinhole, it's simply the maths of lenses. As a side reference, virtually all 3d games project light onto a flat (projection) plane, aka your monitor or camera sensor, they also cheat by assuming distance to that point in space is just the forward axis, not the radial 3d distance, which is completely different to the spherical projection in your eye; in the real world we are at the centre of all incoming light which is a sphere around us and arrives at discrete points on our retina! The practical upshot of this is that according to game maths a train passing by in the distance on a straight track without moving the camera is exactly the same size at the left, middle and right of the image. Whereas in reality if you don't move the camera it will appear smaller and larger as it bisects the cone of your spherical vision. Our brains correct for this, plus we turn our heads and have a small area of acuity, however if you lie upside in a large open area like a park and tilt your head back, the horizon will appear curved - which it is. (But not due to the curvature of the earth).
Okay, first of all, the physics of what's going on here is awesome, and thanks for sticking a 360° camera inside a sphere, but the music definitely made me want to play Morrowind.
Arrange three one-way glass panels in a triangular formation, ensuring they face each other. Observe the visual effects produced by peering through the glass panels
7:23 "It can even go into itself" I'm sorry, but I HAVE to Call BS on this, you Tried (with a POOR Fake) to show us a dichotomy of space & matter! All the Time-traveling & Alternate Universe movies tell us that the same matter Cannot occupy the same space.
@02:24 *It's like putting a 360-degree camera inside a large spherical soap bubble. And i like bubbles more, because they are perfectly spherical when they float & glide in the air* .
Thanks! But I think it It would be great to watch if you also have made the back picture on one side of the camera - that way we could check if you’re able to see yourself in the sphere from all sides - and which reflection is showing which side.
This is cool; I was playing with the Idea of infinity, and how it reminded me of a room of mirrors meant to confuse. If I'm not mistaken, the first part of your experiment, is part of an optical illusion thingy that people can buy, with an alien or a frog in the middle. The second part comes a little closer to what's in my head.
i think it would be really different in a more realistic set upp, with a stereoscopic view, like our eyes. Maybe for a next video you could level up and put some 3D caméra with two lenses inside a (bigger) spherical mirror
@@DHyre well if it's a 3d camera there will be no center like your eyes you are not a cyclope and the image you see is a collection of two slightly different points of view, so the video would have to be seen in stereoscopic 3D (with red and blue intertwined and 3D glasses, or two separates video from the the two lenses and you do cross eyes view)
The issue with being in the concave portion of the sphere, is that it will act as a magnifier; the 360* image is established using the external, or convex surface. What is being seen inside the sphere is this. As you bring the object closer to the middle, you find yourself at the focal point of that sphere. As in a camera, this nodal point is where all the rays meet. Going past this point, the image is now reversed (as in a camera). That nodal point becomes 'confusing' because of the 'infinite' magnification, until the image rays extend in the opposite direction from this point. Yes, approaching this point (from either side of the focal point), the magnification becomes very strong. Using your larger, and longer focal length, parabolic mirror, you'll encounter the same effect as you approach the focal length of the mirror. In fact, as you approach this point, you will be able to measure the focal length of the mirror (or lens) from that point to the mirror or lens. Regarding lighting the inside, it really doesn't work as one might think. Again, the rays of the light are also coming to focus a the focal point. You'd need a diffuse source to illuminate the entire inside, much the same as a light integrating sphere. In doing so, you'd loose the effect you wanted to show.
Here is the interactive video. ua-cam.com/video/wec6ibRtkU0/v-deo.htmlsi=CllOcP2EUsIkgJFK
You need a larger sphere.
Keep it up 👍

4:25 wrong, there's no "visible" light, which now begs that you repeat this experiment with an infrared image sensor.
Interesting. How would it look like.
You should make a spherical one way mirror and put different colored lights inside at the same time to see what happens.
Oh you had a lot of FUN with this one, keep-it-UP dear Sir!!!!!!! PEACE and God bless.
i have seen god and i wish to go back
So.. our universe exists inside a spherical mirror😱😱😱
Okay, first of all, the physics of what's going on here is awesome, and thanks for sticking a 360° camera inside a sphere, but the music definitely made me want to play Morrowind.
Arrange three one-way glass panels in a triangular formation, ensuring they face each other. Observe the visual effects produced by peering through the glass panels
What about a laser now?
the greatest thing about the bean is that anish kapoor hates that it is called the bean so we should all call it the bean.
great use of the 360 camera!
Thanks for feeding my curious mind! Great video 😊
You actually made it out of Chicago in one piece.
7:23 "It can even go into itself" I'm sorry, but I HAVE to Call BS on this, you Tried (with a POOR Fake) to show us a dichotomy of space & matter! All the Time-traveling & Alternate Universe movies tell us that the same matter Cannot occupy the same space.
it's not a real physical object... it's just an illusion to do with the way the light is reflected
That was the most interesting nothing I’ve ever seen! like a catchy tune gets stuck in your head, I’ll be thinking about this all day. 👍
Axial lighting with a ring light around the lens would be interesting to see
Думается мне в черной дыре происходит схожее, ведь лучи все время отражаются только во внутрь
3:06 proof that God IS black
Now I want to see this with a bigger sphere, and shining a laser pointer while inside!
Hes always full od ideas. I wish I could have pursued science to that extent.😊
@02:24 *It's like putting a 360-degree camera inside a large spherical soap bubble. And i like bubbles more, because they are perfectly spherical when they float & glide in the air* .
Balls
What
@@jacob_buildz balls
Can't wait to see the life-size one you build.....
Thanks! But I think it It would be great to watch if you also have made the back picture on one side of the camera - that way we could check if you’re able to see yourself in the sphere from all sides - and which reflection is showing which side.
Who hates like beggars 💀

The irony i love it
I like fish & chips 😋
This is cool; I was playing with the Idea of infinity, and how it reminded me of a room of mirrors meant to confuse. If I'm not mistaken, the first part of your experiment, is part of an optical illusion thingy that people can buy, with an alien or a frog in the middle. The second part comes a little closer to what's in my head.
i think it would be really different in a more realistic set upp, with a stereoscopic view, like our eyes. Maybe for a next video you could level up and put some 3D caméra with two lenses inside a (bigger) spherical mirror
But then… where do you center the camera, on one lens, or the midpoint between the 2 lenses?
@@DHyre well if it's a 3d camera there will be no center like your eyes you are not a cyclope and the image you see is a collection of two slightly different points of view, so the video would have to be seen in stereoscopic 3D (with red and blue intertwined and 3D glasses, or two separates video from the the two lenses and you do cross eyes view)
That was actually really cool. I kinda expected more or less that, but still cool to see it happen.
Cover the lens with reflective mylar film.
The quality will turn bad but it means the lens is reflective too
i cant comprehend it, i get the science and the perspective but i just cant wrap my head around it
The issue with being in the concave portion of the sphere, is that it will act as a magnifier; the 360* image is established using the external, or convex surface. What is being seen inside the sphere is this. As you bring the object closer to the middle, you find yourself at the focal point of that sphere. As in a camera, this nodal point is where all the rays meet. Going past this point, the image is now reversed (as in a camera). That nodal point becomes 'confusing' because of the 'infinite' magnification, until the image rays extend in the opposite direction from this point. Yes, approaching this point (from either side of the focal point), the magnification becomes very strong. Using your larger, and longer focal length, parabolic mirror, you'll encounter the same effect as you approach the focal length of the mirror. In fact, as you approach this point, you will be able to measure the focal length of the mirror (or lens) from that point to the mirror or lens.
Regarding lighting the inside, it really doesn't work as one might think. Again, the rays of the light are also coming to focus a the focal point. You'd need a diffuse source to illuminate the entire inside, much the same as a light integrating sphere. In doing so, you'd loose the effect you wanted to show.
This would be really cool if they could do a walk in exhibit of this some where
i love the new quips
GR8 video Cheers from Western Australia
I would think it’s interesting to see the inside of an elliptical mirror, especially the foci!
Now, you made me wanting a spherical mirror bedroom. 👁👀
