Transparent Screens - a photoset on Flickr

A slick mind trick, move your laptop or monitor briefly out of the way, take a snapshot of the space behind it from the same relative viewing angle that you would be sitting in front of said computer. Then it's just a matter of scaling the image to give a trompe l'oeil effect. Nifty.

I think it would be cool if we could have transparent screens. Probably not really useful, but awesome and useful don't always have to be compatible.

(via the Net, b/c I've seen this on several websites.)
