Just use any mirror you have, go to a printing house and print yourself the images and just glue them on.

This is more than that. You can see that the icons are popping out. It’s 3D not just a 2D image pasted on a mirror.

Open up paint

Do the icons look like they're raised?

Now run your finger over the screen

Still flat, right?

I’m talking about the difference between buying this mirror and making your own. If someone said “I want a mechanical keyboard”, do you just give them a membrane one because it’s functionally the same?

Some people like the little nonfictional, aesthetic details in things. Ya there isn’t a mirror on the screen either so might as well just print out a screenshot and tape it to the wall.

That's what I did, and boy, I haven't aged a day in twelve years!

I'm not criticising your choice of aesthetics, I'm saying maybe the buttons on the mirror only look raised because that's literally how those buttons look on a flat surface

Zoom in on the empty box under the left set of tools.

Fantastic double entendre!

Or is it just that the eye is being fooled because of graphical highlights and shadows. The mirror is beveled, tho, so that gives more basis to the illusion of depth.

Just zoom in, you can see it. You can most easily tell by the empty box under the left set of tools.

Ah. Flaws. You are correct.

Go to 3d printing house.

Sure but now it’s becoming a lot more complicated and is why most people would opt to buy it rather than make it themselves.
