I thought it would just be for cheesy novelty effects, but it also does lightfield manipulation that was cooler than I expected.
@ancientjames stunning!

@ancientjames This is amazing, great work!
Could you selectively open each cell in a grid in order to do make a light field representation of the image, sort of how the light field camera that came out a few years ago worked (Lytra iirc)?
Build question: How does the LCD let light through the sun glass shade? Something to do with polarization? Do you need to use special sun glasses or will any work? Would love to experiment with a diy projector using an LCD like this!

@ancientjames holy fuckballs that’s such a simple idea with such a great effect. Not so simple to make though 😂 very impressive
Amazing

@ancientjames this is one of the coolest things I've seen in ages. I love it!

I've seen research work using coded apertures, this method would take it to another level.

@gustav LCDs need a polariser on the front and back surface, and the liquid crystal in between twists the polarisation so that it either passes through both, or is blocked by one of them. In modifying the phone screen to be transparent, I had to peel off the original (reflective) back polariser. The bit with the glasses is me replacing that with a transparent polariser.

@ancientjames This has some kiwami-japan vibes, absolutely mesmerizing!

@flipper I really want people watching my videos to see that these things can be done by one person, quite cheaply, at home. I always try to include some of the missteps and experiments along the way, but I always end up cutting those bits because they make it hard to follow what's actually going on. The result is a video that makes it seem as though I knew from the start what I was doing and how to do it, but the reality is a lot more haphazard and meandering.
@ancientjames @flipper
On the off chance you didn't try: would partitioning everything into "main flow" and "failed sidepath" and indicating failed sidepath with a colored border or something make things easier to follow? -

@ancientjames are you kidding me? you invented a lytro lense by accident

@ge0rg @ancientjames @narthur i dont even understand how it works. sunglass + lcd = transparent? but as soon you add a pixel, it is intransparent?
@utf_7 @ge0rg @ancientjames @narthur lcds require polarising filters to be able to see. Polarised light is interesting; it’s light with a grain. a filter that has opposite grain blocks the light. tilt it to match the grain it lets light through. the liquid crystal is like programmable polariser; you’re controlling the angle of the grain of the light passing through; not whether it gets blocked directly

@utf_7 @ge0rg @ancientjames @narthur a side effect is this could in theory be developed to a mode that automatically erases all reflections or deep atmospheric fog; (fog looks white cos it’s got chaotic grain. you can filter fog out with a polariser)

@gsuberland @ancientjames definitely a great one that would really make some photographs just pop.
@c0dec0dec0de @gsuberland @ancientjames even better in video by taking advantage of it being animated, you can go from a circular iris to the ⚠️ smoothly while keeping the same f-stop. It would work great as a way of representing a spider sense kind of reaction.

@ancientjames this was incredibly interesting. I'd love to play with one of these.
One thing that I was wondering thoughout the video was why the polarising filter was replaced with one from a pair of sunglasses. Was there something wrong with the old film that was peeled off?

@ancientjames the ⚠️ bokeh was so good
@gsuberland @ancientjames Yeah, that one made me cackle out loud.
