I remember an article in Scientific American in the late '70s or early '80s that covered all (?) the different ways of reflecting, refracting, and (dare I say it) morphing the world visually. As soon as I can get away to a library I will extract some nice ideas from it. I had a similar argument with a friend (about why left and right is reversed but not up and down) around that time and I remember from that the article called what a standard mirror does as reversing handedness not actually reversing left and right. I will post more after I find the article again. Rodger Coghlan
