Two Mirror Congruence
The Creation of Ruled Surfaces in a Hall of Mirrors
A two-mirror laser scanner, utilising rotating mirrors to direct a fixed laser, generates a two-degree-of-freedom lineset: a two-mirror congruence. This congruence, formed by the rulings of coaxial hyperboloids, enables the creation of diverse ruled surfaces. We present a user-friendly application for interactive mirror manipulation, allowing dynamic animation and custom ruled surface generation.
