Second Mirror

Jun 3, 2007

One aside observation when visiting the Swedish Embassy in Second Life - I found a change room (where I presume one can try various clothes given, or to be given away at the site). What stroked me is the lack of reflection in the mirror. I don't remember even seeing in SL so far (and technically speaking it's not impossible, but quite a task for scripting, I believe.) But the very fact that it can be done (and will be with time, I am sure), makes me somehow dizzy. The same feeling that Douglas Hofstadter explores so brilliantly in his most recent book "I Am a Strange Loop".
