The view behind a Drexel University professor has never looked better, wider or less distorted than with his all-new rear view mirror that eliminates blind spots. "Imagine that the mirror's surface is made of many smaller mirrors turned to different angles, like a disco ball," said R. Andrew Hicks, a mathematics professor at Drexel, who received a patent on his mirror in May.
Hicks developed an algorithm to control the angle light bounces off the mirror making his curved mirror not act like a curved mirror.
