Thanks!
There’s a picture of the camera in this comment section
Basically it’s an acrylic magnifying glass stuck into a foamboard box held together with gaffers tape. Focus (and FoV by design) is controlled by adjusting the distance between the lens and the scanner surface.
But wait, if the scanner was your camera then how did you take the picture?
What do you mean how?
Are you asking "how did you press the button"? Or "how does it work"?
It's a meme (holy crap that was 14 years ago!). Look at the top comment chain.

Oh neat! Yup. I knew about that meme. Wild that it's that old now.
