> feed false data to the sensor

Then why not replace the sensor entirely and send fake sensor data? It would be difficult to fake depth of field changes in response to camera's focus motor moving. If I were a security researcher, I would really try to see if the camera is smart enough to tell if the sensor data is fake.

> take a photo of a sufficiently high-resolution display

A 60 MP display? (10000x6000 resolution? I want one!!!) That would still make pixels visible. I suspect a display at least 4x larger would be needed. And it needs to be curved, or the out-of-focus corners will ruin the illusion.

I was wrong about the curved display and focus. Sorry.
