Have some much needed webcam fun with the Midget & Giant computer accessory. It's essentially a miniature house that fits snugly onto the top of your laptop so that when you take photos or stream live, you look like a giant peering through a tiny window.

Created by Japanese architect and artist Ryuji Nakamura, the Midget & Giant computer accessory is made out of paper. What's even more interesting, it appears to feature a table and chair set within, to further give the illusion that you are a giant.
