Mathematician Andrew Hicks at Drexel University, Philidelphia, has developed sophisticated computer models that make it possible to do things with mirrors never achieved before.
By calculating how to vary the way each of tens of thousands of points on a mirror’s surface reflects light he can create mirrors that do amazing things. For example, reflecting text without reversing it or capturing a full 360º scene without distorting objects.
