Transparent screens are the name of the game. That's not some fancy new technology, in fact, it's very simple technology imaginatively applied.
The idea is this: take a photo of whatever is behind your computer screen. Use that photo as your desktop wallpaper, and the screen then looks 'transparent'.
There are some fantastic examples of this over at MacBidouille. Definitely worth a quick click. ยต
