Couldn't you lie the screen completely flat and build it the other way (reflecting the screen and passing through the camera), avoiding the keyboard problem?

- CrazyStat 6y agoThat's how traditional teleprompters work: screen below reflecting off the half-silvered mirror, camera behind. Many laptop screens don't open completely flat, so that may not work for this particular concept.

- throwaway316943 6y agoThe tutorial is already suggesting harvesting a web cam from a laptop, why not just extract the screen instead? Lots of info and equipment out there for repurposing laptop screens.
- gowld 6y agoFlat (really, parallel to ground) doesn't matter -- you just need to adjust the angle of mirror to match.
- berryg 6y agoWhy not use an iPad. IPad on a flat surface and a webcam or any other camera behind the mirror. You can even build a custom mirror-camera using a raspberry-pi, a rip webcam and a small lcd screen. Sounds like a nice DIY project.
