Piet Rullens\u00a0Jr<\/a>\u00a0visited\u00a0The Wizarding World of Harry Potter<\/a>\u00a0and brought back loads of video footage. He wanted to do something special with the footage so he designed a copy of the Wizarding World’s Daily Prophet<\/a>\u00a0to be framed. Behind the frame, he mounted a Raspberry Pi official screen and cut a hole in the printed newspaper the exact size of the screen.\u00a0A bit of scripting and the use of a PIR sensor to detect movement triggers the playing of the video footage. Rather neatly, the frame backs onto a cupboard into which he placed the power supply and drilled a hole to connect up the Raspberry Pi and screen. No untidy wires! Frankly, the whole thing looks completely seamless and totally cool. I want one! See it in action below and\u00a0visit YouTube to give him a thumbs up<\/a>! Thanks to Alex over at Raspberry Pi for spotting this<\/a>!<\/p>\n
