A Transparent Laptop Screen?
 

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could see through your laptop? There is a video of a user who appears to have accomplished this with their laptop screen. While this is obviously a “hoax” it is still pretty cool to see. The person must have hooked a camera up to the back side of the laptop and have the live image displayed on desktop of the computer. I think it is pretty cool.

  1. It looks like a green screen effect. All you need is video of the area with out the laptop, video of the laptop with a green (or other non-common color) background, and a video editor.

  2. I second that.

  3. That makes a lot of sense, seeing a video of it in action is what makes it look really cool.

    I hope that someone will write a piece of software soon that allows me to do that too.

  6. … vlc player and bs player allow you to do a streaming wallpaper… you can configure that with your camera and it will make the same effect…

  7. This is not a hoax. You can do this by removing the reflective foil from the back of the LCD.

    Try it on a cheap calculator.
