Live Wallpaper

Turn a blank wall opposite any window into a live action wallpaper by effectively turning the entire room into a giant camera obscura. The view from your window will be projected (upside down) onto the opposite wall with the use of only a bit of cardboard, tape, and a lens available from your local optician. The effect is pretty cool - but wouldn't it be possible to flip the image right side up again by using a second lens? [via]

use an angled mirror in
use an angled mirror in front of the lens to project the overhead sky onto your wall. The sky looks fine no matter what angle you look at it.
I did this once by accident
I did this once by accident at work. We had a door with a small square window. The afternoon sun was so bright we had to cover it with a piece of cardboard. We added a peep hole so we could see who was knocking. One day we shut off the lights to watch a video presentation. As soon as the lights were off, we had an inverted image of the parking lot outside. After that, we'd turn the lights off now and then just to see the effect. Cool post.
