Lightweight rigid mirror and a method of producing a lightweight rigid mirror

A mirror for a simulator, comprising:

• a body formed of a rigid foam and including a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side, and a second side, wherein the front surface has a shape adapted to reflect light that originates in a projector of the simulator to a user;
• and
• a reflective material covering the front surface to reflect the light from the projector, wherein the reflective material is one or more of:
• (a) a metalized film;
• (b) biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET);
• (c) a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET);
• (d) a metallized PET (polyester) film;
• (e) a vacuum metallized high gloss PET film;
• (f) an aluminized polyester film;
• (f) a polymer film coated with a metal;
• and (g) a material applied to the front surface in a first state and subsequently changes to a solid state.
