The idea is to use the mirror illusion to create a 3D animation. This is a perspective mapping project that uses a unity plugin to create 3D objects by modifying the models. This is inspired by videos on Youtube about creating holograms through the phone. It uses a coin to calibrate the location and additionally uses environment mapping techniques to create the optical map. The map is then invested to create the model through the unity code. They propose that this system can be used to create 3D animations such as virtual agents.
