[–]resonance_frequency 11 points12 points ago

why is this not the top comment?

[–]thehappypill11 19 points20 points ago

Because it doesn't have the most amount of upvotes.

[–]decade777 3 points4 points ago

to the top with you!

[–]giantjerk 9 points10 points ago

Me too!!

[–]obscene_banana 1 point2 points ago

Shut up and take my money!!!

[–]unfoldizzle 2 points3 points ago

haha Im sure I can make that happen ;D

[–]AryaDee 23 points24 points ago

That's awesome, but it would be way too distracting

[–]iamtewSpace is deep 13 points14 points ago

Maybe put an on/off button on it?

Also; get some LED's you can change colour on, much better :)

[–]assman_69 5 points6 points ago

fuck it. im building that. buying parts right now.

[–]obscene_banana 4 points5 points ago

No you're not.

[–]assman_69 1 point2 points ago

I already have a glass table im going to use, I bought 10m of white LED lights and a 6m roll of reflective tint for the underside of the table on ebay, so in the mean time im going to measure/plan/buy wood to make the housing for the mirror (need to source).

[–]obscene_banana 1 point2 points ago

Sounds great, but don't forget to update us when you're actually done!

[–]friedsushi87 -2 points-1 points ago

Surely OP well deliver....

[–]assman_69 0 points1 point ago

I will deliver... probably in several weeks time. Keep an eye on r/DIY.

[–]albatross5000 7 points8 points ago

Whaaaat, that's awesome!

[–]Foreverana 0 points1 point ago

Any idea how to make one of those?

[–]OscarSlenderman 8 points9 points ago

Agreed! Its not like they added instructions?!

[–]violaceous 0 points1 point ago

Wow, that's really awesome. Sauce?

[–]marios32 0 points1 point ago

This seems really cool and all, but it would annoy me to just sit there.

[–]chargerz4life -4 points-3 points ago

How do you make one!

How do you make one!

[–]triceracocks 49 points50 points ago

far fucking out

[–]frameRAID 37 points38 points ago

I got nervous when he started to turn it around. This would make a good scare gif!

[–]alieonicable 14 points15 points ago

Yeah, I thought my head might explode as soon as I see into infinity

[–]STYROFOAM_B00TS 9 points10 points ago

Yep, I mentally prepared myself for something to pop out.

[–]elbitjusticiero 20 points21 points ago

Very cool! If only I could freeze the first frame to see how it's done...

[–]DarknessFallsOverUs 45 points46 points ago

Genius!

[–]ampreker 11 points12 points ago

dude what if you put a clock on the inside so it was an infinite clock mirror light thing!!!

fucking sick

[–]My3rdTesticle 0 points1 point ago

Even better, an LED clock. You can put the LEDs on a timer, and for each second they turn on.... ahhh, fuck it: here

[–]reversefungi 11 points12 points ago

I always wondered, what would it be like to live in a room where every surface was a mirror? Would it be extremely disorientating? Or perhaps your brain would get used to it, but how long would that take?

[–]destriaero 8 points9 points ago

A very similar thing appears in Linderhof Castle. King Ludwig built a mirror room in order to create an illusion of depth. Although not every single wall is covered in mirrors it still has a very pronounced effect. Very amazing!

[–]Forscyvus 3 points4 points ago

Rococrazy

[–]BlueStreak22 1 point2 points ago

Even been in a mirror fun house? Not easy

[–]wtf_shroomSpace is deep 0 points1 point ago

A few of my buddies and I went to this old burnt down house. Apparently, the previous owner was a dance instructor. The entire basement was wall-to-wall mirrors. It was fucking terrifying being down there at night while tripping.

[–]uberguby 0 points1 point ago

This doesn't involve mirrors, but sound. You might find it interesting.

http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/unplugged/quietest-place-earth-mutes-sounds-messes-head-212556719.html

Short Version: This room has an incredibly powerful sound dampening effect. The room is so quiet that people need to sit down and often get sick. We don't realize how much we relly on sounds around us to orient ourselves in the world.

[–]reversefungi 0 points1 point ago

If I remember correctly, John Cage wrote 4'33" after visiting a similar area. He noted how we can never really perceive complete silence, as even when there are no other sounds, our breathing, heartbeats, and even circulatory system can make audible sounds that our ears will pick up on.

[–]snowboy437 8 points9 points ago

Too bad they sell these at Ikea for like $30*0 (300)

Edit: Just realized it's Jordan's Furniture and the price may be different than I said.

[–]Dafnier 4 points5 points ago

There's one in the modern art section of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston with yellow ring lights instead of white lights, but basically the same thing.

[–]snowboy437 2 points3 points ago

I can understand how this would be art if there were only 1 artist who was famous for this, but there is an entire section of Jordan's Furniture in most places devoted to this type of mirror. They have just wall mount mirrors, coffee table mirrors, square mirrors, circle mirrors, etc. They are totally awesome and some of the uses are sick but I don't think they're all that unique IMO.

[–]Eal12333 1 point2 points ago

Or at the dollar store for 2, but they aren't as good.

[–]snowboy437 1 point2 points ago

Exactly! well the cheapness part. Some of the more expensive ones are nice.

[–]Kriptanik 1 point2 points ago

I went searching where you said.

They are like 300$ omg

http://www.jordans.com/Accent-Mirrors/AN7101480.aspx

[–]violaceous 1 point2 points ago

Man, that one is ugly compared to the gif, too. The design is was too narrow to show off the infiniteness.. the circle is a much better shape for it.

[–]snowboy437 1 point2 points ago

They have a vortex one on that site also, but it's more expensive. The picture on the site is pretty badass actually for the vortex one.

[–]Kriptanik 1 point2 points ago

I agree with all of this.

[–]snowboy437 0 points1 point ago

I was just guessing. Looking back at it I shouldn't have put a price but ehh I guess I just wanted to exaggerate my point.

[–]riddy-g 21 points22 points ago

Now you're thinking with portals

[–]Eal12333 5 points6 points ago

Now I wanna make a portal sized one to hang on my wall.

[–]DemeGeek 5 points6 points ago

Make two portal sized ones, one orange, one blue.

[–]chargerz4life 3 points4 points ago

Mind(o_o)< = blown

[–]ObamaisYoGabbaGabba 15 points16 points ago

this was in the bargain bin at spencer gifts in the late 80's

[–]Mindproxy 5 points6 points ago

Now make an orange one!

[–]subtractingthebear 4 points5 points ago

I feel like I'm on the Space Mountain ride in Disneyworld

[–]Sarcasticusername 4 points5 points ago

Is there a how-to anywhere?

[–]TallainSpace is deep 20 points21 points ago

It's mind bottling...

edit: I guess some jokes are too subtle? I dunno.

[–]MiloVernonCosmic 10 points11 points ago

It's like your mind is caught in a bottle

[–]MannyStillwagon 5 points6 points ago

So I have you tagged as "Likes big, black dicks." I tried to come up with a clever way to bring it into the conversation but couldn't. So I guess I just want to remind you that we know your secret. Have a nice day!

[–]ngnear 0 points1 point ago

klein bottling?

[–]ChibbleChobbles 0 points1 point ago

you called?

[–]TallainSpace is deep 6 points7 points ago

It's an optical delusion!

[–]oherrohowaweyou 2 points3 points ago

I want this human-sized on my wall

[–]hat_coat_door 2 points3 points ago

The first step to time travel.

[–]ariden 3 points4 points ago

Watch this while listening to Animal Collective. I felt like I was in a video game in space.

[–]uhLOLJenkem connoiseur 1 point2 points ago

Animal Collective is sweet ear nectar of the gods.

[–]beachjustice 1 point2 points ago

my head actually ached slightly watching him spin that thing back around.. a true mindfuck

[–]perazini 0 points1 point ago

I need one. Where?

[–]denedeh 1 point2 points ago

digital bag of holding!

[–]Emaleeen1 0 points1 point ago

For a moment there I was getting ready to step onto another planet, and a man named Jack was telling me to put my helmet on.

[–]CommanderApparent 0 points1 point ago

Now make one that glows orange...

[–]Tjerino 1 point2 points ago

I can see this being part of an awesome Halloween costume...just hang it on your chest.

[–]Tjerino 1 point2 points ago

Like a futuristic Flavor Flav or something...

[–]connectthegodamndots 1 point2 points ago

or over your butthole

[–]crazyhalfpintguinea 1 point2 points ago

take my money

[–]MutantNinjaSquirtle 0 points1 point ago

reminds me of event horizon. or alien.

[–]inkybloc 0 points1 point ago

The first time I saw one of these was as a Halloween decoration. It was a mineshaft on a porch going down forever.

[–]kosher_beef_hocks 0 points1 point ago

I actually saw a clock like that, it had a black chrome pendulum in it to that thing was sick.

[–]alively -1 points0 points ago

Woah dude!

[–]stonerkyle 0 points1 point ago

it seems like this entire subredit is entirely gifs of bruspups videos

[–]cinza 1 point2 points ago

I watched this gif twice and not once I closed my mouth.

[–]borezShroom initiate 1 point2 points ago

I built one of these in my garage for my super fantastic traveling disco roadshow when I was 14.

"Have go-kart will travel."

Not many people hired me ;(

[–]Caeruleus127 1 point2 points ago

When I was young, I was told that the 13th image of yourself in the mirror is how you would look when you die. From that day on i was afraid to look into these infinite mirror thing :(

[–]i_smoke_trees 0 points1 point ago

My grandmother had one of these. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

[–]Walter_Bishop_PhDSpace is deep 0 points1 point ago

Someone should make a TARDIS where you see this effect when you open its door

[–]Johnclod_VanDirt 1 point2 points ago

among the things i love: recursion

[–]firespoon 1 point2 points ago

That is an excellent stargate

[–]AkinasPotato 1 point2 points ago

i used to always wonder what the inside of a mirrored ball would look like with a light source.

[–]krypto1339 1 point2 points ago

I used to have one of those on a necklace. Took it to a rave, and well, that was the end of that.

[–]missbarajaja 0 points1 point ago

This is awesome!!

[–]forgiven72 1 point2 points ago

I want this as a magic top hat.

[–]SexyKOT69 0 points1 point ago

"Also Sprach Zarathustra" is what my brain was playing when I saw the mirror turn... o_o Amazing stuff...

[–]PvtTacoPants 0 points1 point ago

Now you're thinking with portals.

[–]nickfury27 0 points1 point ago

That would be a great wall decoration.

[–]Budluv 0 points1 point ago

They always had those hanging in record store front windows when I was a kid.

[–]WeWaffleDroppin 0 points1 point ago

No don't turn it back around!

[–]uberguby 1 point2 points ago

Spock had this in star trek 6! They were resting over the pillows he sat on while meditating when he was waiting for Lt.Valeris.

[–]Shaguar 1 point2 points ago

My God... it's full of stars

[–]adidasaids 0 points1 point ago

what the hell is that image that pops up for a split second? I think it's at the end.

[–]mhyquel 0 points1 point ago

Materials used.

[–]WonkaKnowsBest 0 points1 point ago

With how slow he was turning it I was waiting for something to jump out like on that video with the car ...

[–]mythicfish 0 points1 point ago

Thats phucking awsome.

[–]uhrovaltter 0 points1 point ago

You can also just hold up one mirror to another.

[–]eequalsmc2 0 points1 point ago

My parents' friend had one of these, it entranced me for hours.

[–]ChrisQFSpace is deep 0 points1 point ago

ARRRRGGHH!!!!

[–]dickpills 0 points1 point ago

This is Dalek technology.

[–]firesidefire 0 points1 point ago

My first thought was "Dang, that'd make a nice coaster". I feel old.

[–]hank_kingsley 0 points1 point ago

How do I jump through?

[–]Dresden_skyline 0 points1 point ago

Take my fucking money etc...

[–]PopeTheoskeptik 0 points1 point ago

This would look stupendous if an array of addressable colour changing rgb LEDs was used. You could sequence them using an arduino so the tunnel would have lines of colour spinning back and forth.

Top quality link. This has absolutely made me do the big daft grin thing :D

[–]horseflavourFlavorish Horseys 0 points1 point ago

Full 3D infinity mirror.

[–]horseflavourFlavorish Horseys 0 points1 point ago

What would happen if you used a concave or convex mirror?

[–]raptora 0 points1 point ago

Videos? How do they work?
