	'''Mirrors''' are reflective surfaces that allow users to view a mirrored reflection of their avatar, alongside other users and/or the world they're in, depending on the settings of the world. Many worlds contain mirrors intended for users to sit in front of as they socialize. This activity is colloquially referred to as "mirror dwelling".

Face mirrors are designed to help a user stay aware of their avatar's facial expressions, especially if they're controlled by gestures.
