Abyss

Purpose & Scientific Principle

The principle of plane mirror imaging is to follow the law of light reflection. The law of light reflection means that the reflected light, the incident light and the normal line are on the same plane; the reflected light and the incident light are separated on both sides of the normal line. The reflection angle is equal to the incident angle. Through interactive participation, this exhibition allows the audience to experience the feeling of being in an abyss and understand the imaging principles of plane mirrors and semi-transparent mirrors.

How to Operate

The exhibit mainly consists of a plane mirror, a semi-reflective mirror, a set of LED lights and a driving motor. The exhibition items are embedded in the bridge-shaped platform, and the light is reflected multiple times between the semi-transparent mirror and the total reflective mirror, ultimately forming a bottomless ravine. Light is reflected multiple times between two parallel plane mirrors to form a light channel. When the audience walks up the steps to the platform and looks down, they will feel as if they are facing an abyss.

Step onto the platform, look down, and experience the feeling of the abyss.
