see-anywhere device theme

There is a device, perhaps a mirror, a font of water, or a good old orbuculum, that lets its user see hidden faraway places without having an apparent physical connection to the place in question.

Notes

This theme generally does not apply to devices that operate according to presently understood principles. I.e., it does not apply to telescopes that require a line of vision (the place is not hidden) and it does not apply to transmitted camera recordings (a physical camera is required at the remote location).
