I Built a Wallpaper That Shifts Perspective When You Move Your Head
From u/Apart-Medium6539 on /sideproject
I’ve been experimenting with a desktop wallpaper that reacts to your position using the webcam.
When you move left/right, the background shifts perspective so it feels like you’re looking through a window.
I’m still working on smoothing the movement and reducing jitter.
Curious what you think:
- Does the illusion work?
- Is it distracting or cool for daily use?
- Any ideas to improve it?
EDIT: A lot of people asked similar questions (privacy, how it works, etc.),
so I added answers and a small FAQ here:
Also opening a small waitlist for the beta if people want to try it later.
