Digitally remastered photos are still considered optical illusions. If anyone has an idea of how this photo was taken, please comment below.
Using a digital camera to set up the laptop’s wallpaper part seems obvious. The part where this child’s hand reaches through the monitor is somewhat deceiving. This original photo is from Flickr. Part of it could be understood if you jump to “Transparent Desktops” and “Hand Reaching for Calculator inside The Monitor” optical illusions. Hopefully, some explanation can be found there.
Did I mention this laptop illusion reminds me of the movie called “The Ring”. Babies just creep me out.
Since we are on the illusion of laptops, this one is like “Inception”. There are laptops inside laptops.
Looks like a bottle of whiskey coming out from the screen. Or is it a coaster?
quite simple (i think)…
the screen of a macbook can almost be flipped 180° en then they took a picture…
OK. Flip screen down. Take picture of baby behind laptop. Flip screen up. Set first baby pic as desktop background. Take picture again, with baby still behind laptop. OK. Easily understood. Most difficult part is making the baby behave.
However, what about the baby hand coming from the keyboard — got to be a photoshop job. Not an illusion at all.
The author’s title for the piece is “fun with photoshop.”
either fake hand or photoshop, a lot of people do the screen window trick tho, that was even my backgrounds for a while but i got bored of staring at a wall and wires lol
umm, i think maybe they just drew in the laptop in photoshop. If you have a close look it really looks fake
LOOK AT THE BABY HAND IT IS NOT REAL AND THE BABY IS A PICTURE SAVED ON THE SCREEN
POEPLE!!! THESE ARE ILLUSIONS. OF COURSE THEY ARE NOT REAL. THEY ARE JUST REALLY FREAKY TRICKS.
Thats a ugly ass kid anyway……
This seams as though the babies face is definately a laptop picture, but of the four fingered hand was set to try to cancel the photo shop idea(they are not tricking me) its def. photo shop!!!
you can tell the babies hand isnt real….
and its face is just a saved picture of it on the computer.
(what a rubbish illusion)
cut a holr thru the laptop? =)
IT IS REAL CUSE U CAN SEE HIS HIAR ABOVE IT IS ONLY GLASS HIS THIMB IS BE HIND THE LAPTOP
what i dont get it
dumb and stupid.. who cares how it happen! it just did.. so all u nerds out there.. GET BENT.. na im jokin
I’ve seen it before, but the hand through the screen is pretty slick.
the hand of the baby is touching the computer passing throwgh the monitor!
i am so (*_*)
whatever. stupid.
i’m going to a different site-this one is boring me.
its not any drwaing or something, the baby behing is real and the walls are also real… u cannot make it out until u dont have the real laptop wid u, becuase this new technology has a very small camera/scaner somewhere behind which captures the specified/progammed area (size matching/ parallel to laptop.
Thanks & Best Regards

thats wierd. it looks like the baby’s hand is coming out of the screen! crazy!
Why does the hand have only four fingers??? o_o
The fifth finger is the baby’s thumb – and it’s behind the hand.
The hand coming out of the screen is a DOLL HAND! DUH! (sorry if I’m a little rude…)
LOL…FUNNY COMMENTS ABOUT HOW “THEY” THINK IT WAS DONE…LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE BABY IS REAL PIC AND PHOTO OF A LAP TOP IS LAID OVER THE PIC OF THE BABY
ok im sorry but some people, as usual, are being pretty stupid about this wicked cool illusion.
(and for those who get it, i apologize for repeating the answer for the umpteenth time)
OK so first they fold the laptop closed with the baby pic.
Then they dowload said picture onto their laptop and make it their backround.
Next, they put the kid in the same spot, right behind the laptop, so everything lines up and take the picture.
**i think i figured out the hand**
they might have closed the laptop again, but put his hand on it, the way it lines up. then they could have photoshopped that picture in? i mean like at the end, like when they took the picture of the lap top, they might have laid that picture over it w/ photoshop…sorry if i don’t make any sense!
not totally sure if im right, but just another theory to play with!
and to all you people who say this is “rubbish” or “it sucks”, you honestly must be confused and be looking at a different picutre then me.
((sorry if i came off rude everyone))
luvin it…but sorry…photoshop can do anything…
Come on doesnt it look just like a plastic hand!?
The hand coming out of the laptop looks fake.
easy! screen is from paper (with pikcture of desktop and baby,)cuted for babys hand to put through and the real screen is still flipped down…
no photoshop(for the hand)!
sorry for my english
Im Macedonian
in fact, the screen is fake!
…>> it’s not freaky,,!!!
actually its fake.. there’s a trick<<
Wow, Okay, see if you can keep up.
1.The monitor half of the lap top is flipped backwards.
2. Baby with hand on laptop (thumb behind hand as if, I dunno, holding himself up?!)
4. Cropped to show ‘transparent wall paper’ on the monitor that was photoshopped over origional pic.
Close? Think about it…
the hand is obviously fake.
Maybe they took the picture first, then set up the boy behind the computer so that it looked like the screen was transparent. As for the hand, maybe they just put out some gummies or something that look like a hand…
I think there is a comment somewhere on a related illusion that explains this properly- but I’ve forgotten where it was hehe…
Guys your thinking way to hard about it. I don’t think it was photoshop at all. The person who did this has you all fool. The hand is simple a dall hand. I must say very smart
It’s a silicone hand people! And yeah, the child does kinda have the face of a 50-year old, haha! And a freaky stare too.
look, the reflection of the laptop shows the screen, would you see the screen if it were a true reflection? Ah….wonder…
Notice the shirt color is different from on the computer. Blue outside, red inside.
kreepy
I think I know how it works.
That is a screen saver and the hand looks fake but its still cool.
that is quit cool
the hand is fake
…..i did’nt know how it done….
uhm….its cool..
:)
you bastards I can see the fake baby hane i am not stuped punkes
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! he is going to jump out and eat me! with his hand! ill tall u WHY:
******SPOILER******
it is a picture
and the baby is
a saved photo
on the computer.
easey!
******SPOILER******
i’ll tell you guys the trick. it’s two different pics. one with the baby, one with the macbook. photoshop works wonders. it’s really not a hard pic to make. i’ve done similar.
freaking A this scared the crapfarts out of me!

Lol you should have not said anything…
anyway, these types of pics are old news. I’ve seen many many of them done, and this is a rather poor example. and of course it’s photoshopped. derrr.
Really simple: just align a picture on the desktop to real life. Then put a baby hand prop there. (look carefully at the joint!)
that kid is an ugly ass shit
pic of a baby and the “hand” is a toy
yeah its obviously a fake hand. and its just a pic of a baby at the right time n right plc. IT’S A FAKE HAND, SO CHILL EVERYONE, NOTHING TO BE FREAKED OUT ABOUT!
Looks like the hand reaching out onto the keyboard is fake…A carefully placed prop.
it could be, but what if the laptop was not there in the first place??
It`s edited.

The actual hand is part of the photo, but if you look closely, the fingers are fake.
Looks abit like a alie O_o
alien*
veery clever one …used a fake hand
I don’t think they used a fake hand.
Don’t some laptops have a moniton that turns and flips?
they could have fliped the screen out of the way taken the pic of the baby touching the monitor, then matched it up and taken the 2nd shot.
