Have you ever dreamed of becoming invisible? Now, this is no longer just a dream. A “personal invisibility shield” for consumers has been released at an affordable price. Here are its features…
Invisibility Shield 2.0 features: Priced under 70 dollars
Manufactured by London-based Invisibility Shield Co, the Invisibility Shield 2.0 is available in Mini, Full, and Megashield sizes. As the name suggests, this product is a new and improved version of the company’s original Invisibility Shield.
While the Full-size Shield measures 99 x 69 cm, the Megashield is 183 x 122 cm. The Mini, designed to hide “small items on an office desk,” measures 30.5 x 20 cm. Assuming the Invisibility Shield 2.0 goes into production, you could own Mini models for $68.
The Invisibility Shield consists of a curved sheet made of high-grade polycarbonate positioned behind the user. Each sheet has long, thin lenses placed side by side, running from the top to the bottom of the shield.
When the user stands or crouches behind the device, the lenses distribute the light reflected from the user’s body across the entire front surface of the shield. Similarly, light reflected from the background is also distributed across the whole front surface.
Since the user is much narrower than the background, the light from their body gets lost in the light from the background. Consequently, someone looking at the front of the shield sees only the dispersed light of the background.
The shield works best when the user wears lightly colored clothing and the background has a fairly uniform appearance. The invisibility effect remains the same regardless of how far away the observer is.
The Invisibility Shield’s uses include hiding contestants in a Korean dating show, staying invisible while playing paintball, performing stage magic, playfully hiding small items on an office desk, and observing wildlife.
However, it should be noted that users can’t see their surroundings clearly from behind the shield; they need to look around the shield to see their environment. What do you think about the invisibility shield? Don’t forget to write your opinions in the comments section below.”
