I like the product but I think it could be used in a different way, for instance in order to hide an open window of a building in order to avoid snipers. I would not use it in a situation in which the enemy can come close, because one can recognized the rectangular shape of the item. So one possibility for improvement would be so make it in a more nature-like shape. What I find is a pity is that the person using it cannot see through it. It hides you from the enemy.. But it also hides the enemy from you, and that, in my opinion, makes it close to useless for a true emergency situation

Influencer you are and be, and we're damn glad to have you. And while I think this thing is neat, as an engineer, I also think it isn't quite ready. Dust and wind is a problem, and the fact that is has an up/down axis, and the blur it induces will restrict this to a small object. I am very curious how badly rain compromises it, and what happens in low light if it gets backlit at all. If it gets hit with light from the side, it will either keep working or just turn into a glow panel.

I wonder how it would look as a cylindrical space that you can hide in, protecting yourself in 360 degrees... Ive seen this tech being shown off over the years and it definitely has a lot of tactical potential.

@Pencil0fDoom

2 жыл бұрын

It would not function in a cylindrical configuration. This grabs light from 45 degrees to the left & right behind the subject, and uses it to obscure that which is positioned orthogonally to the back of the viewing surface. If it were wrapped even 180 around a central point, the effect would be to smear your own image horizontally, magnifying and distorting you instead of rendering you invisible. Ive done a bunch of small scale experiments like this, using the deformable thin lenticular sheets from the light diffuser stack that you can find behind every flat screen device ever made.

I've seen some demonstrations of this tech previous, but it was on much smaller sheets. I'm excited to see it progress to this level and hopefully the equipment to create it will continue to improve and increase the size of the sheets and decrease the costs.

Good to see you getting back to what this channel is best at, the evaluation of new gear.

I think it would be an excellent idea to create a stretchable bodysuit instead of a shield for invisibility. I would pay $300 bucks for that shield, it just needs some adjusting to make it top-notch.

There has been something similar out there for years used for deer blinds. IIRC, there is also a paint.

To hide from a thermal scope, use a space blanket. Use this product to hide the fire hydrant when you park.

A few years ago I seen a documentary where the military have cloaks made of that type of material

Pretty nifty concept. Still not worth $300

Enjoying the humor on your video. Can't see a use for this, just looks like another thing to hide behind.

That is awesome for real. I could see these set up around your business or modern décor home too.

So this is the Tech they allow the public to know about.

It is a big fresnel lens. A less refined version of the technology was applied as far back as the 1820s to enhance light house lights. Similar plastic sheets were used commercially in dlp rear projector tvs in the early 2000s, however they bend the light differently. more of a parabolic curve.

they should use these to hide the tanks from drones lol

Loved this video. It was hilarious!!! It’s nice to see these kind of lighthearted videos. Things have become a bit too intense lately.

I would check it out. I've been using ghost blind for years for hunting and war games and it works pretty good.

A shelter made out of this would be gold.

the red peeled off mine, showing clear beneath

I wonder what it looks like at night? Maybe in a field with a flashlight sweeping back and forth? Also, will the company accept my invisible cash as payment?

Maybe just some clear packing tape over the stand brackets and over the screws so they can’t back out. Cool idea for the prototype but they have some more R & D to do

Thanks for the review it’s cool I think it needs periscope since you can’t see through it

It’s just like a part from inside a flat screen TV

Yes, I did see this before. You can make one out of a riot shield and a fresnel lens from a TV screen. It's much cheaper, but probably less quality.

Forget the shield, I am more interested in where I can get one of those "It's coming" shirts that Nate has on. Pretty cool! 😄 🤣

Really cool to see the invisibility shield in the wild outside of controlled videos by the makers. What a neat product.

I've seen these before but they were flexible like a blanket, no stand. The girl was wrapping it around her waist. I thought the red was supposed to be peeled off, surprised they use such a bold color on a product like this. There are youtube videos out there where they show you how to make these yourself but... it didn't look like something I could do myself. I think these invisibility shields are pretty cool, I'd like one

Thank you. I appreciate videos like this also.

Imagine a Roman style Shield built for riot protection or even round protection where you could just disappear behind it when being fired upon. Very cool concept.

Perhaps it would make a great window in a home? They cant see people when they look in?

Thanks Nate ! That is cool!

I would zip tie or JB weld where the screws would be I feel it would make it more durable if you were running with it and you wouldn't have to worry about losing screws. And for to support it to stand up straight stake it

Cool tech. Can't wait to see the inevitable improvements in the future

I suggest they replace the sides with handles and make it vertically foldable plus more of a box design so you could hide from drones.

I love it. The first intuitive camouflage . I am sold on it.

I have seen similar technology in turkey ground blinds. They are actually mirrors that angle out and down.

This def has some potential, I can see where this could be really useful.

If this was a few sheets attached to each other in an octagonal shape - not only would it support its self but it would be a full enclosure.

It works at the vertical as the shield is Polarized, just like sunglasses. If it was a couple feet larger than your vehicle, you could use it to hide that, in let's say at the edge of an orchard or a field where the edges of the shield could meld into the surrounding vegetation. It's all about The Blending with The Shield. Just saying. We used to use something like this in the Navy called "Deceptive Lighting" out at sea. Totally different premise, but the same results.

It's been done by gluing those kind of Fresnel lenses on the dreaded Riot Shield...worked pretty good, I even wondered for deer hunting...

You can get the same thing out of a flat screen TV . I have does this year's ago used it for hunting . Just look for a old TV out for trash And boom there you go. I only works one way the line on it distort light . It works great.
