Very clever - also, you might recognise a name half way down the page.

Yes, if you look at it from the exact coordinates x,y,z of the camera it can be illusioned! Otherwise it can't work. As far as I know a british defense firm applied the same concept with moving images. Another means with a help of compturized technology and mirrors you can change the outer with same environment the vehicle is moving.

Would be more impressive if it was "How to get a Skoda to move!"

80's joke there

Cool


Can she make my missus disappear now :?: :lol:

The scrapyard got a bad deal, invisible advertising

That's awesome!

The scrapyard got a bad deal

I think they can just about afford it:

She was given the Skoda Fabia from the breaker's yard at local firm Recycling Lives.

Owner Steve Jackson described her work as "amazing".

"When I first saw the photos I was convinced it was something which had been done on the computer," said Mr Jackson.

"But when you look more closely you see the effort and attention to detail she has put into it. It is just amazing."

Ah Mr Jackson

 

[Jeewhizz]

I read this yesterday, and made the connection to Steve - or at least it crossed my mind.

It's fabulous advertising for the 'local recycling firm'. If it got into the mainstream press, I'd imagine every local paper would be all over it

Take a look at the work of this German guy who paints huge optical illusions using whole streets

3D Steert Art

I made the Steve Jackson connection, especially with the story being based in Preston but the recycing company is called Recycling lives and i checked with registrar and recyclinglives,com and .co.uk both available.

Very much doubt the same mr Jackson ?

Eff me, i just checked that street art and that is barmy, imagine parking your car on a normal street and then coming back to that, you'd poo yourself

Check again, they both are registered and forward to recycling.co.uk... definitely the same Steve Jackson

WARNING !!!

Do not use Telivo to check domain name availability, this is the third time now they have give results showing domains available when they're not

I don't registar with them as they are a ripoff but used them because they give fast available results, no wonder, they make it up.

You're right Ben it is the same mr Jackson, the one with dodgey domains :lol:

I am not envious of him at all

Giving away a Skoda, and he's other car is a porsche

I stopped using telivo a while back for anything, awful service.

I wonder if i told STJ i was doing a project he would let me choose a domain?

I Like that Pavement Art. "Its right up my Street"

I Showed it to my house mate and he sugested it was like another artist he had seen but didnt know the name of,
