Okay so you should get the right rearview mirror that says "objects are
closer than they apear". On the other hand you might not need as big a
room using this mirror. ;-)
I've seen the type that mounts to the lens, they are trapazoidal shaped
and the Post war version I saw had an chain at the far end of the mirror
to adjust it.
Another option and much more optically and politically correct is using a
prism from an old graphic arts camera.
