Startup in the UK creates a stealth shield that can hide anything behind, costing more than 9 million dong
Recently, a startup in the UK called Shield Co announced that they have successfully built a type of stealth shield that can work well even without electricity or other types of energy. To make it easy to imagine, it is like the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter, except that this shield has a square shape, which can blend into the surrounding environment and cover everything behind it. 1 perfectly.
Currently, Shield Co is conducting crowdfunding on the Kickstarter platform to be able to mass produce its products. Their initial goal is quite modest, only about 6500 USD. But now, the stealth shield has earned more than 88,000 USD from backers, far exceeding the expectations of Shield Co.
Shield Co’s stealth shield.
Each of these miraculous shields covers an area of 6 square feet (0.5 m2) for $ 400 (more than 9 million VND). Although not really as magical as in Harry Potter, nor as modern as the stealth technology in Predator, Shield Co’s product is still remarkable for its clever use of optics to create illusions. 1 comprehensively.
In fact, the technology behind the invisibility shield is nothing too sublime or complicated. It features “a precisely designed lens array” to deflect light around the subject. In other words, this shield reflects light horizontally to make any person or object behind it almost completely obscured and invisible.
However, Shield Co’s products are not really perfect. It cannot completely reproduce the scene behind the subject, can only create an image that is somewhat blurred and not very realistic.
With simple, uniform background scenes, this shield works quite well.
On the Kickstarter page of this project, Shield Co said: “The shield works best with homogeneous background scenes such as foliage, grass, painted walls, sand, sky or asphalt. Background scenes with horizontal lines, such as horizon lines or artificial lines, rails, paint lines, also work relatively well“.
Although unlike the high-end products in popular science-fiction movies, we can hardly ask for more in a stealth shield that costs less than 10 million VND. It can help users hide the defects in their home, cover the tangled power lines of computer devices, TVs, or simply help them have a perfect hiding place when playing hide and seek. such as.
