[new2AMD]

its probably a photo of what is behind it

 

[jfall]

yeah, it is.. but it must take some work to get the position/colors perfect

 

[icejunkie]

thats hot!

 

[artikk]

[Zanix]

Would be really awesome if it were truly see through, like move the screen around and still be looking through it.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

That doesn't have anything to do with the bottle of Kahlua in the background, does it?

 

[SaltBoy]

I'll have to try that out and freak out my wife.

Oh, and IceJunkie -

LOL!

That is cool. I'd love to do that at work, but all that's behind my monitor is a cubicle wall.

 

[Aharami]

thats pretty cool

 

[icejunkie]

You've seen my brother levitate, now see me in the Matrix...

Anyway back to the topic I bet it's like a webcam hooked to a special program that transfers it to the background. One of the pics has a guy holding an iPod behind his monitor.

[cHeeZeFacTory]

saw this on engadget yesterday, very cool

 

[trmiv]

Wow! That is cool. I might have to try something like that.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Cool. Not a webcam, I'd bet- just that they took a pic and spent some time cropping and getitng things to match up.

 

[Mrvile]

Yeah but look at the guy with the cat. That one would be hard to get the cat to do that.

While that would be cool, that's not what they did. They simply took a digital picture of the background, and edited it on the laptop to match the contrast and color of the real-life setting. When they took a photo of the setup, they positioned the camera to line the two up.
