Illusions can be eye-catching and attractive and when you apply them to computer displays, the results can be quite interesting and deceptive. How cool will be to have a see-through screen?

The idea is simple: Taking a digital photo of your surroundings then place it as the desktop background of your monitor or screen. That way, they appear to have a fully transparent display. Below we will showcase 24 transparent screen trick photos. The environments presented in these photos appear to have a completely transparent screen which creates an optical illusion. Have fun!
