Mirror Coordination (Draw a Star)

Optics & Eye Health

★Exhibit Content: Mirror coordination, plane mirror imaging ★Interaction: Electromechanical interaction ★Operation: Press the button, hold the brush, look at the image in the mirror, and try to draw a five-pointed star along the track on the baseboard. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of a plane mirror, a panel with a five-pointed star outline, a metal brush, a digital display device, LED lights, and a button. It is a recommended exhibit from the PopsciCat Exhibit Store. Press the button, hold the brush, look at the image in the mirror, and draw a five-pointed star along the track on the baseboard. You will find that although it is usually very simple to draw a five-pointed star, why do you "repeatedly make mistakes" here? Because the five-pointed star in the mirror is the image formed by the plane mirror, which is equal in size to the object and reversed left-right. When drawing a five-pointed star while looking at the image in the mirror, the direction of the hand drawing is opposite to the actual figure left-right, and the brush often disobediently deviates from the track, resulting in hand-eye incoordination. After repeated practice, the brain will gradually adapt to this change. ★Scientific Principle: Plane mirror imaging is a physical phenomenon. It refers to the light from the sun or a lamp shining on a person, being reflected onto the mirror surface, and the plane mirror then reflecting the light into the person's eyes, so we see our virtual image in the plane mirror. When you look in the mirror, you can see another "you" in the mirror; the "person" in the mirror is your "image". In mirror imaging, your left side as you see it is still on the left, and your right side as you see it is still on the right, but if two people face each other, your left side is on the other person's right side, and your right side is on the other person's left side. This effect is also called mirroring. The characteristics of plane mirror imaging are that the size of the image and the object are always equal, and when moving forward or backward, the image and the object move relative to each other. When a person can only see the mirrored action, the habitual visual perception can cause the fingers to make incorrect movements. Plane mirrors are widely used; dancers use them to correct their posture, and periscopes made using the principle of plane mirrors can observe conditions above the water surface from underwater.
