Make: Online : See-thru laptops!

See-thru laptops!

See Thru Laptops2
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool

Wow - Flickr user Kap4001 removed the displays from 5 laptops just to . . . wait, no he didn't -

Every screen is showing exactly whats behind it - relative to the camera, which was on a tripod.
The most difficult task was to convince the old powerbook 180 to show a simple jpeg.. netscape navigator 3 did it.

Man, why do I always fall for that one? - see-trough laptops! on Flickr

No need to convince the 180, only needed photoshop as you can see from the perfect perspective on the 1st notebook screen.
