Lets you see whats in a room without entering it
Since ray tracing will be common does that mean no excuses for not having functioning mirrors

Mirror's won't become more common because the reason why they don't exist or are broken is because they either make games way more demanding (for a number of reasons) or they force out a cascade of extra content (if it's an FPS, your character model that is rigged and animated) for very little actual gain.
So unless there's a strong gameplay or narrative reason for it, don't expect more mirrors.

How would you program the AI here to see you in the mirror? Since mirrors in vidya are just a reversed copy of the room you're in that has a copy of you and the NPC, you would have to make the mirror NPC see you, then transfer the reaction to the NPC on the other side of the mirror?

Is Raytracing the new meme word?

In REmake 2 Mr X is actually set up very similarly to the player with his own sense of sight and sound which can be abused. The same set up would just have to be applied to random AI and they'd be able to spot you in mirrors then.
Asher Bennett
But "he" doesn't really have any senses, only the reactions are programmed, right?

I'm actually not how they do it. Some people say there's a duplicate room behind or to the side of the existing room. Considering I've been able to throw objects through mirrors in Hitman 2 but not 1 (which had no mirror reactions) I'm starting to believe that might be true.
For NVIDIA's marketing team, yes

Nope you can watch the making of REmake 2, he has a fully developed sense of sight and hearing to mimic the player and it can be used against him to even follow him without him knowing where you are just by staying out of sight and walking. Best part is the longer you avoid him, the more "angry" he gets which raises he sense of hearing. It's pretty complex.

Here's another case where I've seen them work before. I believe they've actually programmed the AI to increase their field of vision to 360 degrees specifically while in this corridor but again I don't know
