Trompe l'oeil, deceiving the eye
When exploring optical phenomena many test pieces need to be fabricated. Some can elevate the eye like a periscope, another lets you see around the corner or both, and a different combination might allow you see through walls. Finding tools that can deceive the human senses and allow for translation to a larger scale is the intent.
