Abstract
An infinity mirror with enhanced optical effects that are created by providing auxiliary light-reflecting elements within the mirror chamber of an infinity mirror and selectively illuminating individual ones of the light sources of an infinity mirror so as to create and change the pattern of illumination.
Claims15
An infinity mirror that comprises:
- a mirror chamber having an internally reflective back wall, an internally reflective front that provides one-way viewing into the mirror chamber, a top, a bottom, peripheral walls extending between the back wall and front, and front chamber frame elements that extend over peripheral edges of the internally reflective front;
- a series of light sources provided within the mirror chamber which series of light sources extend in an alignment that extends along at least a length of the peripheral walls which length extends from and between the top and the bottom of the mirror chamber, the series of light sources being located behind the front chamber frame elements so as to conceal the series of light sources from direct observation;
- one or more auxiliary light-reflecting elements provided within the mirror chamber, each of the one or more auxiliary light-reflecting elements comprising a mirror or mirrored surface that reflects light emitted from the series of light sources;
- and
- an electronic circuit that selectively illuminates individual ones of the series of light sources in a desired sequential pattern around an internal peripheral portion of the mirror chamber.
