Mirror VR
A VR mirror that renders the correct perspective for each eye.
A working mirror for VR, where you see your own avatar reflected correctly.
Problem
In VR each eye has a different point of view, so a single reflection texture looks wrong: the mirror has to show each eye its own correct reflection or the image breaks the sense of depth.
Approach
Most of the work is in code rather than shaders: a camera system calculates the reflected view for each eye and feeds the right image to the mirror surface for that eye.
VR constraints
A mirror means rendering the scene again for the reflection, once per eye, so its cost has to be managed carefully to avoid dropping frames, which in VR directly hurts comfort.
