Amazing 3D Hologram Animation on the iPhone

I'm not sure if this is real or not, but it's amazing. David OReilly just finished coding an application for the iphone/ipod touch. It gives the illusion of a 3d hologram jumping off the screen.

Here’s a video of it in use, featuring the Cat from his award-winning but unfinished cartoon PSS:

Made by David OReilly, the application works by assuming a constant viewing angle (35-45 degrees), typical for when the device is placed on a tabletop. The 3d scene’s perspective is warped using anamorphosis, the same technique used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors. This application does the exact same but updates dynamically.
