This is neat. Points for execution!

I did this for the first iteration of my side-project using my camera to "take a photo of a photo".

I did a side-by-side comparison of screenstab vs iphon6 taking pic of screen. original screenshot as control

WFH means we have time on our hands to do comparisons like this. LOL

OP here: Thanks a bunch! Your comparison highlights something that always bothers me about taking a real-life photo of a screen: the banding/moire effect resulting from the physical pixels being viewed from an angle. This was actually something I encountered early on in Screenstab when I was attempting to replicate the look of a real subpixel layout. Had to scrap that approach.

Interesting! You should put a side-car blog up and talk about the challenges and lessons that came from building this thing. I've been doing that and was able to ride the front-page of HN for about 18 hours. Link in profile.

Also, I see that you are in Norway?! Hej from Sweden :-)

OP: I like that idea. And yes, I've noticed your posts. Hej, söta bror!
