How do I turn my Monitor in to a mirror?

[Prozac]

Hey everyone, question.
Is it possible to use a background that would essentially turn my monitor into a mirror?!
I tried scanning a mirror.. doesn't work!

1. Get Mirror
2. Get Glue
3. Glue mirror to monitor.
4. ???
5. Mirror on your monitor.

Well youd need a really dark BG and a really bright room. Then it would look a bit like a mirror.

Other than that there is another option. But i have no idea how to actually pull it off. Basically have a webcam project the image onto the desltop. Now i know VLC has the option to run the video as the BG so it should be possible to make a webcam project it onto the desktop aswell.

It would be a fake mirror with a bit of an offset. But it would be similar.

I got the patent. Now I just wait for someone to get rich using my patent, then I'll sue him.

Well, today much laptops come with a webcam built in. That's already patented, unawared

 

[Grega]

Not the whole morror thing. Webcam itself doesnt do jack ****. Patent the program and you win

There are enough gullable saps round the world to swallow anything that looks COOL you throw at them.

We talkin LCD or CRT?

 

[Grega]

Well since its initially the software thats important. We can talk both ^^

CRTs are naturally more reflective though. One wouldn't need software, just turn off the monitor and have a bright source of light overhead or behind you.
