> That is cool. Are there other ways to make a non-reversing mirror?

I don't know if that counts, but:

Get in front of your webcam and watch yourself on the screen. If your laptop screen is too small, note that modern large screens (usually sold as "TV") are larger than typical mirrors.

If all you need is a quick hand mirror, just use your smartphone in selfie mode.



Note that some phones do mirror the front-facing camera view (though actual photos taken are not mirrored) [0]. Both my Nexus phones have done this, so I assume it's a common Android feature. I don't know about iPhones.

Regarding webcams: Hangouts also mirrors your camera to you during video calls. [1]

Doesn't work for my particular application but I'm sure others will find it useful, assuming they don't run into the technological conspiracy to hide reality enigmango discovered ;-)
