  Additionally, if you can make sunlight shine through a tiny hole that is somewhat level with the ground into a dark room or box, onto a flat, white surface, you can often see a projection of the world outside if the sun is hitting everything just right, the image will be upside-down and reversed, but often in full color like a video image.

  Naturally occuring camera obscura must have freaked people the fuck out in olden times.

    in the house i grew up in, when the blinds were down in my window i would have a camera obscura for like half an hour each day. it made sick days more tolerable.

      Once I hitched a ride on the back of a empty meat truck, so it was pitch black, some minutes in my eyes got used to the dark and started to notice a projection on the front wall and I could somewhat see what was behind the truck, even got to id car models.
