This is the most incredible visual trick I’ve ever seen, one that will make your entire reality melt—literally deforming everything in front of your eyes, shrinking and expanding objects around you. It’s mind-glowingly trippy (WARNING: Don’t try this if you are epileptic. It may cause seizures.)

Sponsored by the game Watch Dogs, the folks at RatedRR explain how you can hack into anything in real life—from cameras to AC units to smart power outlets to wireless LED lights—to use those home devices as remote bomb detonators.
