Its cool, but most of them are pretty much the same, however I have seen some very cool ones scatters about....see if I can dig any up.
It's not real. You take a picture of the place without the screen, put the screen back, crop the previously taken picture, use it as background, and take another picture.
would it be technologically possible to do that? I can think of a few real world applications for it.
OLED displays don't need a backlight so it is possible to do it with them. Very expensive at the moment because its highly experimental Edit:
I tried it a couple years back when it first hit the interwebs. It's a fun thing to try out but unfortunately the illusion only works at the right angle and in a photo. The only place I see this illusion to be at least a little more long lived is with a wall mounted monitor like the one hanging on the wooden wall as there's not much gap to reveal the missing depth. I think it would be a fantastic illusion applied to wall mounted info displays in hip hostels and stores though.
