The underlying steel structure plays off the tinted glass, counterbalancing the building's mass with layers of reflected light.
By analysing the wavelengths of the reflected light it can identify specific chemicals.
Instead, the user relies on reflected light, as he would if he were reading a sheet of printed paper.
ECONOMIST: Electronic screens as thin as paper are coming soon
The works are displayed in a series of glass-fronted corridors leading off the original house, and reflected light from the sea fills the exhibition space.
It works by scanning a laser beam across an object and manipulating the reflected light to produce an extremely narrow focal plane.
"That helped with the clarity, " says Mr. Cobb, who took notes on how the glazes and the textures of the various paints reflected light in the gallery.
The IR light does, however, reflect off of any objects or people in the room, and the information carried by this reflected light is recorded by a holographic imager.

This was how we spoke of the local people: they were souls, they were transient spirits, a face in the window of a passing car, runny with reflected light, or a long street with a shovel jutting from a snowbank, no one in sight.
These are able to measure the spectrum of the light reflected from a cloud so accurately that Dr Rosenfeld could deduce the average size of its water droplets from the amount of light that they reflected.
For straight ahead, there are some night vision systems on the market that use a camera that sees reflected infrared light, to detect warm bodies like pedestrians or deer that would otherwise be invisible.
FORBES: You Never Need A Dashboard Camera Until You Really, Really Need a Dashboard Camera
This handheld device measures the different wavelengths or types of light reflected from a surface.
The spectrum of the light reflected from the planet is Doppler-shifted because the planet, like the ambulance, is moving.
V4, where the light reflected from a surface is compared with that reflected from surrounding surfaces, in order to control for relative rather than absolute brightness.
This intimate story, bringing together the northern light reflected off water, the cold wind, the fear of poverty, the weight of the past, and the lack of a future, has a soulful, epic grandeur.
Impressionists favor the clear light of midafternoon, and instead of focusing on panoramic views, they concentrate on the quality of natural light reflected on specific surfaces a single copse of trees, a short span of running river, a group of village houses and rooftops.
WSJ: Nature in America | A Landscape in Evolution | By Barrymore Laurence Scherer
Utilizing a light bulb as the light source, the light is reflected from a small DMD to the screen.
The alignment of the liquid crystals in the array controls the direction in which light is reflected from them.
As the light is reflected from the DMD, it passes through the color wheel so that the right color is displayed.
Then the guide spotted a pair of bright red lights in the weeds near the riverbank: crocodile eyes reflected in the lamp light.
And when a person lies, more of the light is reflected, and the reflections come from a wider area, than when he is telling the truth.
Part of this light is reflected back, and the pattern of reflection indicates activity in the tissue it has been reflected from in particular, changes in the flow of blood to that tissue.
When light travelling through the core deviates from its course and hits the cladding, the boundary between the two acts as a mirror, and the errant light is reflected back into the core.
The infrared light that is reflected by a plant shows how efficiently photosynthesis occurs in that plant and can provide insight into its general health.
He could detect shallower water by colour, and see the light of invisible lagoons reflected in the undersides of clouds.
Getting into screen performance, it reflected a fair bit of ambient light, perhaps not the best display we've seen from Huawei -- there seems to be a space between the surface of the glass and the display itself.
Having a series of layers also helps to "bend" the flow of sunlight which assists in capturing light that would otherwise be reflected off.
For, as a result of it, the starlight reflected by the planet differs slightly from the light that comes directly from the star itself.
They have little in common with Mr Antal's stylish main film, in which faces, reflected in mirrors or caught in slivers of light, appear and disappear on a darkened screen.
It also sports an "ultrafine" .0065-millimeter pitch along with a "high-contrast filter" that allows the projected image to be reflected by the screen while it absorbs incidental light from other sources.
ENGADGET: DNP unveils daylight-friendly Supernova Flex Screen
So far, Dr Borra has achieved a reflectivity of 50% (that is, half of the light falling on the mirror is reflected), but he is confident that he will be able to equal the 80% reflectivity of mercury.
