Make an object appear to float in midair with the 3-D Mirascope, a fascinating optical illusion toy that brings the science of light to life! Place a small object inside the device, and watch as it appears to hover above the opening like a solid, three-dimensional hologram. Reach out to touch it, and your fingers pass right through the image. How does it work? It’s all an amazing illusion created by light!
The 3-D Mirascope uses two precisely shaped parabolic mirrors to reflect light and create a real image that appears to float above the device. This hands-on science experiment is a fun way to explore optics, reflection, and the science behind visual perception.
The Mirascope comes with instructions and sample objects to get your experiments started. Then, try placing your own small objects inside to discover which ones create the most convincing floating illusions. Experiment, observe, and amaze your friends with this clever optical science toy.
