This wonderful mechanical wooden mirror looks deceptively simple. In reality, it is technologically complex – the hundreds of blocks in the matrix respond to input from carefully concealed cameras that tell them when to shift and rotate. Subtle shades emerge out of the combination of reflected light, cast shadows and the soft wood grain.

This is really good stuff, I did something similar at college with a motion detection robotic arm that would image what the person did [with their arm, by wearing a cabled motion detection arm].
It took a lot of time and effort but it was worth it.
How would it behave, I wonder, if they switched input – instead of feeding it with video from the wall-mounted cameras, the input came from the camcorder used to shoot the mirror? What’s the digital wood equivalent of the standard video-feedback tornado?
Noisy piece of junk isn’t it?
WOW! I want one
It reminds me of something .. but then the knobs were made of metal .. and it was not a mirror .. but can’t remember what it was then, nor what the purpose was .. I sort of feel the knobs to the palm of my hand .. but I have no other recollection .. so it was not an optical thing but for other senses .. Weird, how my brain will not give me the information whereas I remember very vividly the main part … Or was it a palm reader or such??? I don’t remember. Darn.
I do look better in my mirrow so I dont want of those … Nifty technique though, although I could not see the cilp yet. Why wood I wonder but that the ciip might reveal.
Or is it not reality, just sort of a puzzle (or something like as with the coffee cup mona lisa, with grey coffee
Who’s the man in the video. It looks a bit like the guy on the website, but also a bit like Derren. I never saw myself as a conspiracy theorist untiltoday, ha ha ha! Aw, I’d love it if just one of those crazy theories turned out to be right

Me thinks there is more to this wooden mirror than meets the eye. It looks very much like Derren in the video to me.
