Applications of Reflect3D
Reflect3D is not just a technology; it's my vision of reimagining how we interact with 3D content. By eliminating the need for glasses or headsets, Reflect3D offers a more natural and inclusive way to experience 3D, opening up a myriad of potential applications.
While the traditional realms of gaming and entertainment are obvious fits, the potential extends far beyond. Imagine students exploring historical sites or complex scientific concepts in 3D right from their classroom. Real estate professionals could offer virtual tours of properties, giving potential buyers a true sense of space. Museums and art exhibitions could employ Reflect3D to bring exhibits to life, offering visitors an unparalleled interactive experience.
Currently, my energy is channeled towards refining the prototype and envisioning its applications across various sectors. While the journey of Reflect3D is still unfolding, the promise it holds is boundless.
As its creator, I'm passionate about the possibilities Reflect3D can unlock. It's not just about introducing a new technology, but about reshaping how we perceive and interact with the world around us in three dimensions.
The mirror mount assembly is made of 17 linear translation stages and 8 custom mounting plates designed to provide independent precision position tuning in 6 degrees of freedom.
3D Artists Collaboration
Attention 3D artists! Reflect3D is my personal venture into redefining immersive 3D experiences, and I'm seeking talented individuals to collaborate and contribute their artistic vision.
This is an opportunity to showcase your 3D animations and visuals in a unique environment, free from the constraints of glasses or headsets. I'm particularly interested in artists with a solid foundation in 3D animation and proficiency in tools like Maya, Cinema 4D, and Houdini. Experience with game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine would be an added advantage.

This section delves into the intricate details behind Reflect3D, my personal exploration into reimagining 3D experiences.
Reflect3D is built upon a unique 3D viewing concept that harnesses precision-aligned mirrors and high-resolution stereo displays. This creates an immersive visual experience without the common "ghosting" artifacts seen in traditional 3D methods. The key lies in the use of first-surface mirrors, eliminating the need for glasses or other visual aids.
To ensure the utmost precision, I crafted a bespoke mount system that allows for meticulous adjustment of the mirrors across all six degrees of freedom. This intricate system comprises custom mounting plates, goniometer stages, and linear translation stages.
The room's design further complements the technology, using floating panels to refine the alignment of reflections. And to elevate the visual experience, I've designed a shadowless ambiance, illuminating the entire ceiling uniformly with LED lights paired with softbox diffusion material.
Reflect3D is more than just a technology; it's my vision of how 3D content can be experienced in a novel and captivating manner. Whether you're an artist, a designer, or someone who appreciates immersive experiences, Reflect3D offers a glimpse into the future of 3D viewing.
