Tempo allo specchio
(Time in a mirror
) is a virtual laboratory consisting of an observation point on Earth that reflects off an imaginary mirror placed two light years away and connected by a time tunnel
divided into 4 segments which are 1 light year long each. The laboratory gives a vision of time separated by 4 years from each action or event that happens at the Earth observation point. The mirror is also able to move nearer or farther away, up to and beyond the speed of light, causing time warp of the images. Tempo allo specchio
is mainly meant for art students who need to create images for scientific education. The striking, spectacular stereoscopic images lend themselves to the classic themes of astronomy. The 3-dimensional vision of the cosmos is created by 2-D to 3-D stereo-conversion.
With stereo-conversion, an ordinary 2-D image may be transformed into 3-D stereoscopy by manipulating the visual information as if it were modelling clay.
