They also emit real photons. 🤯

They would still emit real photons, just reflected ones.

Strictly speaking, reflected light isn't 'emitted'. A mirror isn't an emitter of light either.

Photons get absorbed and then re-emitted. I'd argue that counts as emission as it's one part of the reflection process.

Yep, virtual lights work the same as real lights

If they’re not looked at, they don’t consume as much electricity. So there’s that difference.

If you have your back to them, they don't emit light either!

Edit: Well, reflections, for you with the FANCY GPUs...
