Could a video recording ever create a true reflection?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) July 8th, 2019 from iPhone

If I video myself in front of a mirror waving with my right hand, on playback the video can show my right hand just in front of the camera and again in the mirror image.

Although I will have captured the nature of how a mirror works by doing that, I will not have captured the mirrors true reflective nature.

Can any recording ever show a reflection when observed in the present.

Thanks in advance for not dismissing the question.
