In Response To: Re: Let's REALLY overanalyze this picture (Smasher)

: Very interesting theory.. but there could be two holes in it. First, why
: can't we see a reflection of Cortana or (assuming we are in fact seeing
: things from his perspective) the Master Chief in the mirror? Since the
: angle of the image allows us to see the wall that, if there was a mirror,
: would be behind and to the right of us, it would seem that we should be
: able to see everything within the room that was within the upper and lower
: edges of the mirror. Second, assuming the faint grid is part of the shiny
: wall, why does it cover the two downward facing screens? The only way to
: get around that would be if the screens were being reflected from behind
: us in the back of the room, and if that were true then the writing on them
: would have to be backwards when viewed properly, which seems unlikely.

I was still sure of myself untill you pointed out the writing on those screens. I suppose it could just be that although Halo can make mirrors, it doesn't think to reverse textures (because it assumes textures will be symetrical, and not have writing.. a bad assumption, but possible when coding mirrors)

The grid is part of the wall, and covers the two screens for the same reason the orange dots cover whatever they're in front of. Different colors on the reflective surface change what you see in it (same for different colors on a transparent surface).
: Making an addendum to my own theory, the stub of a wall could be the bottom
: support for either a plate of glass or other transparent material, or a
: force field (hence the blue strip). I just wish I could read the writing
: on the third screen in the background. Oh, if only we had a tiff..
