Yes, like the 2 parabolic trick mirrors that face each other. The one on
the top has a hole in it and when an object is placed in the center of the
bottom mirror, it's "image" is projected out the hole of the top miror. It
looks like the object in all it's 3D slendor as if you could touch it, but
it's just a "real" image.... kind of like a hologram.
I'm not familiar with "using photons". How do you do this?
