Ah yes, fond memories of that mirrored contraption!
There were also wooden contraptions to strap on one's head with image-merging
mirrors in them. We had fun lining up equal-height friends and merging them.
But both of those did have the downside that getting engrossed in electron
density while keeping one's head properly positioned caused back issues even in
my student days.

the “best” I’ve found is stereo glasses and display side-by-side stereo.
When I was a graduate student in the Steitz lab a WHILE ago, there was a
frame built that fit over the Evans and Sutherland Ps2 and PS390 monitors (I
said a while ago :)) that carried two mirrors at 45 degrees at your eye width
apart, and another two at 45 degrees towards the edge of the screen. The
whole device was counterweighted and could be lowered into place or pulled up
for non-stereo work. You put your nose on the centre of the two mirrors.
For side by side stereo, it can’t be beat. Immersive, no eye-strain. I
have debated having something similar made…
