Jon Hyers’ projection DVDs bring Virtual Santa and other holiday figures into your home and neighborhood
Filmmaker and special effects expert Jon Hyers’ Outrageous Media sells specially designed DVDs for projection in windows to create an apparently effective illusion (note: this is not a product endorsement). The description of the Virtual Santa DVD says “Santa walks around inside a house doing typical Santa tasks, from pulling present from a bag, to eating Milk and Cookies. Very realistic image and lighting that makes Santa appear to be lit by Moonlight as he leans towards the window.”
See video examples of the Virtual Santa, Virtual Mrs. Claus, and Virtual Carolers here.
