A British startup claims to have created a real world that doesn't need power to operate. Think of it as Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, but in the shape of a flat piece of cardboard that turns anything behind it into an indiscernible smudge.
The company, evocatively called Invisibility Shield Co, is now looking to finance its invention on a crowd funding website, where it has generated over $88,000 so far, out of an initial goal of just $6,500.
You can get a full size invisibility shield for $400. It is a fun demonstration of a clever optical trick.
The technology is very easy to use. The shield uses aprecision engineered lens array to shield the subject.
It is a clever trick that reflects light in a horizontal direction so that the subject behind the shield is almost completely obscured.
The science behind the invention is not perfect. The shield can recreate the scene behind the subject in a haze.
The shields perform at their best against uniform background such as foliage, grass, rendered walls, sand, sky and asphalt.
The shields are a fun piece of engineering that could give you a serious edge in your next game.
New tech makes objects invisible by shining light.
