You just take a shot of what’s behind your screen and make it your desktop background. And yes, I’ve tried it, and yes, it’s more difficult than it looks to get it just right, especially if you don’t have a laptop. It’s all about the fold-down screen.

the one with the hand is hard to get right, but easy to set up. to see how to do it and where the hand stops and the picture starts, look at the very far right of the dudes hand. the shading is different when it comes to the desk. he took a pic of that part of his hand behind the desk, then set as background. the only real part of his hand is the thumb, palm and possibly one finger. i’m still not sure on that part. this is how it was done as far as i can see. its funny how the simmple explantations are the longest to read. sorry about that, but i hope this helped w/ the hand prob.
i bet they jus tuk a pic of the exact plce, then they put it as there desktop pic! example. tke the second “illusion” the wood on the computer is darker then the real life wood, also the lines of it arent level! trust me, its not a trick.
my ones..

Awesom tric done using photoshop

It’s chroma key, you know the green screen technique used in movies and stuff, just set the desktop background in an specific color not present in the rest of the components of the scene and take the picture, 2 pics are needed one shooting the laptop screen with the blue, green, pink… desktop and the other shooting the background also both must be taken from exactly the same spot, angle, direction and with the same lighting, then during the edition just set the color you choose as transparent and put the other pic in the background layer.
Now quit talking about how tricky it is, it’s kid’s stuff.
It’s obviously NOT chroma key, you idiot! That would be cheating ! (in this context).
YOU HAVE TO SET THE PICTURE YOU TAKE (of the background) AS YOUR computer’s DESKTOP BACKGROUND, then take another photo of the whole thing (including the computer screen). THAT’s why the tint isn’t exactly the same on most of the screens vs the background AND you can also see small areas where the continuity doesn’t match up 100% . Idiot!
Having said that, all you other idiots gawking at these going “woooow, that’s soooo amazing” need to educate yourselves a bit more into what actually IS amazing. Sure, these are quite neat, and it takes a lot of tweaking to get perfect (unless you’re chroma key cheating) but they’re not THAT amazing.
HOWEVER, the REALLY cool thing to try is to do this to someone’s screen IN REAL LIFE, unbeknown to them, to watch them try to put their hand through their screen. Now THAT’S amazing ! (and there you HAVE to do the real thing, obviously greenscreen won’t do shit).
All the more difficult, since you have to control their angle of approach (unless their background is very plain.
what an idea!!! very unique!!!
Anyone notice that it’s all MAC people who did this? Just sayin’…
