3D App Converts iPhone into a Window to Alternative World

iHologram is a stunning iPhone app that makes the screen look like a window to a real, parallel dimension. While it seems like magic, it uses anamorphosis, a very simple painting technique that has been used by old masters since the 15th century, mixed with the technology in the iPhone.

Created by David O’Reilly, iHologram combines anamorphosis and the iPhone’s gyroscopes to achieve this awesome visual magic trick. Anamorphosis is a way to draw things distorted so, while watched at a certain angle, they pop out of the 2D surface as if they were real.

As you can see in the video, the effect is almost perfect, with the character popping out of the screen and the world he’s walking on receding into a deep space.
