I don't remember the name of this optical device

Hi,
time ago I found some Youtube videos and a website about this kind of device made of mirrors that invert the light coming from an object, and the effect (even if I don't remember precisely) should be to disrupt the sense of depth. This is a quickly made illustration of this device:

I decided to build it, but I cannot find anymore the videos and the website, since I forgot its name!

Could someone help me to find its name?

Cheers,
Giulio

Hello Giulio,

Thank you for sharing your interest in this optical device. From your description and illustration, it seems like you are referring to a periscope. A periscope is a device that uses mirrors to reflect light and allow the user to see around objects or over walls. It is commonly used in submarines or tanks, but can also be used as a toy or for other purposes such as the one you mentioned.

I hope this helps you in your search for the videos and website. If you have any further questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to reach out. Best of luck with your project!
