It has passed some time from our last transparent screen illusion. Ceanne got a Free iPhone from the “Only Available on Your Computer!” contest. Ceanne said: “I figured this one out while trying to imitate “Man Holding Calculator.” The other illusion, Girl Holding Calculator – This is just another example of “Man Holding Calculator 2” only its a girl-me! There are a few differences: I’m am holding the mac application “Calculator,” not the “Calculator” widget, so the screen is visible, long with the bar at the top and the dock with calculator open. Let’s see if you can figure out how this was done. The only editing done was cropping, light adjustment (trying to make it less dark), and sharpening (trying to make it less fuzzy).”

    Picture one is just someone’s sleeve over the regular iPhone web site that has the picture of the hand already there. For picture two it just looks like they printed and cut out a screen shot of the calculator app, held it up in font of the screen and took a picture. The light adjustment done looks to be done to the cut out app itself and the sharping as well just to make it look like it was still on the screen. Two things give it away, one is that the orientation is slightly off both in it’s tilt and in that the window is huge compared to the rest of the screen. Also, the close minimize and zoom widgets are grayed out as if the window was in the background but the menu options are active for the calculator app, one that only has one window. They most likely used a separate app to get their screenshot they used to print, likely grab (Applications->Utilities->Grab). Pretty funny though.

    #2 took a photo of his hand in front of the screen, put in the calulater in while editing and took another pic with the other finger. something like that cause the calculater isn’t parallel with the computer screen (see how the bottom right is father down than the bottom left)

    She took a picture of her hand in front of the empty desktop. She then made that picture her desktop background. She then put the calculator in front of the open palm and voila.

    yeah, except that her arm is sticking out of the moniter and it would be near impossble to get rid of your hand when trying to take that picture.

    that website already has a hand holding an iphone. they just hid their hand in their sleeve and put it up to the screen.

    you can find the picture at http://www.apple.com/iphone

  21. hotfoot says:

    Yeah, i think in the first one they held their hand backward contracted the top of hand hiding behind the arm and pose to the pic of hand on screen.
    #2 is a cut out of the calculator app cut out and taped to hand.
    very cool illusions.

    You can actually really get a free iPhone… Our forum (http://www.iphoneforum.info) is sponsoring an iPhone giveaway… We’ll give away a test unit of the iPhone to one lucky forum member, but he will need to wait until June to get it :)

    More details at FreeiPhone.ca. And don’t worry, it’s not a scam :)

    The first picture looks like there is a person holding an iPhone and the real iPhone is covering the picture of an iPhone.

    The second picture is really weird. My first though was that they were holding a calculator that looked a bit like one that you get on the computer. But after reading the comments that others have posted, i have to agree with Tim O. Well Done Tim O. Good Work!
