Invisibility Shield Co., a British startup, has developed an impressive technology that creates the illusion of invisibility. They have created a 6-foot-tall “Megashield” that can hide multiple people and is sold for $828. The shields use ultra-large, precision-engineered lens arrays to redirect light reflecting off the person behind the shield away from the observer.
These innovative shields are waterproof, require no power source, and are eco-friendly as they are built from recyclable materials. Tristan Thompson, founder of Invisibility Shield Co., emphasized that the shields are not only practical but also fun to play around with. The startup initially launched the product in 2022 with different sizes and price points and surpassed its fundraising goal on Kickstarter.
The latest version of the invisibility shield is even more advanced, allowing it to stand on its own and be easily packed down to only 2.3 inches in thickness. This makes it convenient for users to take anywhere they want. Thompson highlighted the advancements made in the technology, emphasizing that just two years ago such capabilities seemed impossible.
