Grand Theft Auto 5 has stationary mirrors in certain parts of the game - ie. supply stores - where the avatar is mirrored while walking by a mirror. Apparently, much to the chagrin of STA5 players, they are unable to produce the same effect in automobile mirrors while driving. My questions is - if GTA5 can make a mirror where the avatar is moving and picking things up and everything is seen in the mirror as it happens (albeit with a static background), why can't Linden Labs or other people do the same inworld?
There are mirrors in existing video games, why not second life
