You know those computer desktop wallpapers that look like you can see right through them to what’s behind the monitor? Well, someone took that concept and developed a 99¢ app for the iPad 2 that displays what’s underneath your iPad right on the tablet’s screen.
Using a combination of the iPad 2′s camera and gyroscope, Invisibility requires you to take a picture of your table from two feet up, then place the tablet down on the table’s surface. Start rubbing away at the screen and watch your picture “magically” come into view. Now it looks like you can see right through the iPad to the table. Grab a corner and turn the device, only to have your friends amazed that the image never moves – like the iPad was made of clear glass.
Invisibility doesn’t use live camera footage, as it can’t focus so close-up, but it should provide afew “oohs” and “ahhs” from friends who don’t know any better. It’s a buck – why not?
