New Definition of Mirror Worlds

Recently, several people published new worlds that might replace mirrors for some users, and one of them is “Camera Test” by Merlin featuring a similar system, which is similar to HardLight670’s “Mirror Dimension”.

Even though these two worlds might have different systems, Merlin mentioned that “[his] world uses the Unity Camera component to do various tricks that show the world and your avatar from different perspectives.” Although this doesn’t work in the same way mirrors do, Merlin’s world features many impressive options of things you can do with avatars, and, as some might agree, this is something you should see on your own rather than read about in a news article.
