Talk:Catoptric cistula

Paris

 * In a version of a catoptric chamber at the Musée Grévin, Paris, when I was a child and people were more easily amused, there was a mirrored room in which lights were lowered while one facet of the wall was revolved and when the lights were raised, the remaining walls placed us in un forêt immense sous la neige....ooh then in a caverne incrustée de diamants...oh la la... --Wetman 23:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Phantom of the Opera
Would it be worth mentioning the torture chamber from the novel Phantom of the Opera that used this technique?

TARDIS
Just a thought: Should this not be linked to the TARDIS article. Same concept, really, just better special effects...

 * I don't see how it's the same. It looks bigger on the inside than it does on the outside, but that's it. No mirrors are used, and it's not an optical illusion. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 • 2006-06-06 14:53

Hi Brian, It doesn't use mirrors, I concede. But it is an optical illusion:  seeming smaller on the outside than it is on the inside. Is your objection not that there is no such thing. True, but I did say it was a fictional device and it uses some (fictional) device to create an illuson of smallness to the eye. I'm not suicidal about this, but think that the link enriches your article (which is fascinating - I wondered for a moment whether it was worth making one).

 * Alright, it's close enough that it should be included. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 • 2006-06-07 20:59
