Abstract:
A device for viewing architectural scale models from the same eye level perspective of a normal sized person viewing the full scale buildings. The device comprises a horizontal base component having a mirror thereon and a vertical component adjustably mounted to the base component with a second mirror mounted on the vertical component. An image of a model placed in front of the device is reflected from the second mirror on to the horizontal mirror. A viewfinder is formed on the vertical component so that a person looking through the viewfinder can observe the reflected image of the model. The device includes adjustable joints to adjust the device to a range of scale settings.
