- CROSS-CUTTING POLISH-DISPLAY OF VISUAL INFORMATION -

If we take, say, the axis and on it arrange and fix two diametrically opposite mirrors from the origin of the axis which is located closer to us and further along the axis (from us) one after another with a shift by an angle and after a certain distance on the axis (step) - Let's say 15 pairs of mirrors (or mirror strips) turned by a reflecting surface towards us, then we get a new mirror, provided that the axis is connected to an electric motor that can give a large number of revolutions. The engine is at the opposite end of the axis from us. When we turn on the engine, then all the mirrors begin to rotate and now looking in such a mirror and at the same time changing the accommodation and convergence of vision (we translate the eye's attention) we find ourselves in a row of mirrors (our reflection). That is, almost at the same time we will find our different in scale reflection in fifteen mirrors, which are one after another. This can be achieved by arranging a series of semi-transparent mirrors one by one or making such glasses where the external world will be visible in a series of reflections.

Such mirrors can be used in attractions. You can use it as a toy for children (and other applications) or for advertising purposes.

If instead of mirror strips on the axis in the same order, fix the rods (diameters) along the length, which are located one to another row of LEDs. Then with the proper hardware for playback, the effect will be as follows. When the engine is turned on, the rods will rotate and 15 images (films) will be visible on the rods (now dynamic planes) through each other at the same time thanks to the dynamic sweep, that is, the inclusion of LEDs during rotation.

You can use this effect as an attraction for advertising and as a new way of displaying visual information.
