Fun project, but personally I never found the video-reflection-version of Pepper’s ghost effects to be as convincing as the old-school type where you’re looking at a fully 3-dimensional reflection of a real person or object. In the video version you’re just looking at a reflection of a flat screen on glass, and your brain is very good at telling whether the depth perception is off, even if it does appear to be floating in space.

Surely that’s a peeper’s ghost illusion.

Hear me out on this: replace the peep with a ghost pepper. Now you have a Pepper’s ghost ghost pepper!
