Didn’t know how to flair this, sorry.

You are still using binocular vision, and physics still applies. Your eyes (assuming you have 2) each sense the arriving light independently from one another, and your brain calculates the arrival paths to determine an estimate for distance.
The mirror functions to literally “fold” the path of light arriving to your eye. The distance the lights travels from the object to your eyes does not change. It’s really no different (conceptually) than looking through a window.
