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
