Valerie Thomas is an American scientist (NASA Physicist) and inventor who patented the illusion transmitter in 1980.

After attending a scientific conference and seeing an illusion that involved concave mirrors, Ms. Thomas became very interested and began her research.

Her invention, the illusion transmitter grew out of her experimentation with concave mirrors. You could call it early 3D technology. Her invention transmits an optical illusion of a 3D image between concave mirrors that looks real on the receiving end.

Ms. Thomas work made the picture jump out of the screen and NASA continues to use her technology to this day.
