🍎 MacBook Lid → iPhone Duo Effect

Close your MacBook lid… and watch the screen fold in real time — just like Apple’s latest dual-screen concept.

A pure software demo that turns your MacBook’s physical lid angle into a live 3D perspective + depth-of-field effect.
No extra hardware. No special drivers. Just pure Python magic.

---

✨ What it does

• Reads the real MacBook lid angle at ~60 Hz
• Applies a dynamic perspective warp that makes the screen look like it’s folding
• Progressive Gaussian blur + pure black fade that spreads from the top as the lid closes
• Fully transparent, click-through overlay — your desktop stays usable underneath
• Zero configuration. Just run it and start closing the lid.

Perfect for demos, TikToks, Twitter/X posts, and making people say “wait… how?!”

🚀 Quick Start

# 1. Install dependencies
pip install PyQt5 opencv-python numpy pybooklid

# 2. Run
python main.py

Then slowly close your MacBook lid and enjoy the show.

Requires a modern MacBook with lid angle sensor support (most 2019+ models).

🛠 How it works (short version)

1. pybooklid streams the hinge angle in real time
2. The current desktop is captured once at launch
3. OpenCV calculates a perspective transform based on the angle
4. A progressive blur + black mask is applied from the top edge
5. Everything is rendered as a frameless, always-on-top, click-through overlay

📦 Requirements

• macOS
• Python 3.8+
• MacBook with lid angle sensor (most Intel & Apple Silicon models from 2019 onward)

❤️ Credits

• Sensor access powered by pybooklid
• Built with love using PyQt5 + OpenCV
