Description

A three-part optical illusion experiment utilizing the Pepper's Ghost principle. The enclosure uses ambient light and a clear sheet of recycled plastic to project a reflection of a small figure, making it appear to float inside the dark interior.

Specifications

  • Illusion mechanism: Forward-leaning plastic reflects the illuminated floor pedestal into the viewer's direct line of sight.
  • Adjustability: Slide-in stage features 1.2mm grooves at 35, 45, and 55 degrees to tune the reflection angle depending on the viewer's height.
  • Assembly: Snap-fit front bezel holds the stage in place. No screws or glue required.
  • Printing: All three pieces are designed to print flat without supports. In your slicer, split the model into objects and lay the main enclosure on its back.
