is it really hologram or simply a miniature covered in glass?

[–] brianorca@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

A miniature, but the relief would be exaggerated by the curvature of the glass, so the image looks deeper than it actually is.

I can't be sure, but this appears to be the Hollow-Face optical illusion. It would be achievable with this technology as well

Hollow face illusion produces a face that appears to follow the observer. This just looks like a sculpt under glass.

My guess would be a painting under the rounded glass piece to make the painting move slightly through the curvature of the glass. But I’m just some guy.

That's clearly Brian May from Queen.
