I have seen arangments similar to this but only consisting of a cube of mirrors
mirrors with probably just one semi silvered as you could only view them
from one direction, I have taken stereo photographs of them and got one
onto the cover of the UK stereoscopic society journal.This was as part
of their showcasing of the work of different folio groups, I call it
Infinity in 3-D or just Infinite-D, I have also seen a mirror that you 
can buy for your home which is a sandwich of two mirrors one semi silver
with lights between them.
