Larry Berlin describes the use of mirrors in a beamsplitting (coming to our
senses Larry? ;) yes, we do like the name!) arrangement to capture 3d with
a single camera:

That's a neat idea Larry! It's good to see people trying unusual things in
3d. I will not rush to try it because it appears to me that it leads
itself to prints and not slides and the resulting keystone deformation
might be a problem (?) but I am tempted to ask you and others, what else is
done with mirrors?
I have seen Harold Lloyd's famous self-portrait with two mirrors and
reflections to infinity. I am sure one can do many tricks with mirrors.
So, what else is there?
George
