Face Off

Question:
Can You Change Your Face with Me?

Instructions:
1. If you have a companion, please invite him/her to sit in the room.
2. Sit down and face the mirror so that you head falls inside the yellow box.
3. Adjust the light inside and outside the room to achieve the effect of "swapping faces".


Why?
You are actually sitting in front of a transparent mirror, which can reflect light and at the same time let light shine through. Which image is eventually visible depends on the relative intensity of the light sources on both sides of the mirror. When one side of the mirror is brighter than the other, the dimmer image will be eclipsed by the brighter one and we would end up seeing the brighter image.
