The Mirascope uses twin parabolic mirrors to project a real, three-dimensional image that floats untouchably above the aperture.

This optical device utilizes two identical concave parabolic mirrors in a clamshell configuration: the focal point of each mirror is positioned at the vertex of the other. When a small object (e.g., a 4 cm plastic frog) is placed at the bottom mirror's focus, light rays reflect twice—first off the top mirror, then off the bottom—to converge precisely at the top mirror's central opening. This double-reflection process creates a real, laterally inverted image that appears solid and tangible in the air, yet fingers pass right through it (a classic demonstration of geometric optics, not a true laser-generated hologram).

### [Eddie — The AI-powered CLI](https://la.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp__SL6KR-PK28)

Eddie is an AI-powered CLI assistant designed to demonstrate how to build real-world AI-powered applications using Mirascope, an intuitive Python toolkit for developing with AI. The key goal of Eddie is to serve as an educational resource. As we implement new AI capabilities into Eddie, we'll be releasing detailed blog posts and video walkthroughs to give you an inside look at our development process. By following along, you'll learn practical techniques and best practices for building your own AI-powered applications.

### [Mirascope v0.4: Chat History, FastAPI, Model Swapping, and more!](https://la.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_qlnqX4Dt-6E)

We have some cool new updates in Mirascope v0.4. Some key new features include chat history as part of our template parsing, extractors that work extremely well with FastAPI, easy swapping between different model providers (currently we support OpenAI and any OpenAI API supporting system, Gemini, and Claude (no tools).
