A Real Invisibility Shield You Can Actually Buy...

All right, listen here, ladies and gentlemen, today we're about to break your brain

That's what you came here for. We have something pretty cool sitting right there

This is an actual invisibility shield. Invisibility shield. Yeah, like the science fiction type of thing

It's actually not the craziest technology. It's just a kind of a light bending film that you can place anywhere

And depending on the scenario, you can pretty much completely obscure whatever happens to be behind it

Now, I knew this technology existed, but I didn't realize you could actually buy it

And it's really not even that expensive. So this company right here is now selling it

You can buy one of these for yourself. Hide from your pals. Do all your pranking

Do all your pranks and gags. Do your just for laughs. Easter

Think about Easter, man. You could dominate Easter. What are you going to do? You going to put some eggs behind there

Some Easter eggs for the old hunt? Hide those eggs. All right. This has a pretty epic peel on it

I'm going backside. Oh, boy. the peel it's almost like you got to peel it before you even break it

epic peel you know what this material kind of reminds me of is um you know the scratchy

when you have the hologram type collectible card and you feel like a DJ, you're scratching it

you're like... That's not what's happening here, though. What's happening here? We're on the hunt for invisibility

And actually, we're going to use this thing in a really interesting way. Whoa

Bo is going to try to fool me completely. Hide in plain sight

Wait, wait. Whoa! He's going to shoot a variety of clips using nothing but the invisibility shield to obscure himself

I will then watch these clips back along with you, and we will attempt to find where's Waldo, otherwise known as Mo

And so, like, I'll be like, Ice, you're right there. I might be wrong

He can verify, he can confirm, or he can deny. So we just see how effective this thing actually is Am I gone Before I get into this video and attempt to spot them I want to talk a little bit about this technology This product is currently

on Kickstarter and the company has packaged together like a commercial product that you

can buy. This one features high resolution invisibility, large enough to hide multiple

people. That's the full-size version, the one we have here. It's also freestanding and portable

Of course, there's no power source required. It's 2.3 inches thick, less than nine pounds

and it is made from fully recyclable marine-grade materials. Now, the big unit is three-foot-one

by two foot one and that's 299 British pounds. The small invisibility shield which is 12 by eight

that's a little bit more affordable at 49 British pounds. If you want to buy more than one you can

catch certain deals. It's also important to note that this is a Kickstarter so if you've never

participated in one before this is the idea that you're going to be one of the early purchasers of

the item and they'll ship it to you when it's ready. Now it is important to note that at the

moment this project is on Kickstarter and of course just like any Kickstarter there's always

risks and challenges with producing a new product and starting a new company so they have those

risks and challenges outlined on the Kickstarter. I recommend you read those before you place an

order. Now as far as the technology is concerned each shield uses a precision engineered lens

array to direct much of the light reflected from the subject away from the observer sending it

sideways across the face of the shield to the left and to the right because the lenses in this

array are vertically oriented the vertically oriented strip of light reflected by the standing

or crouching subject quickly becomes very diffuse when spread out horizontally on passing through

the back of the shield now if you're interested in the details and technology used in these sheets

these invisibility shields then i recommend reading the entirety of the kickstarter page because

there's even more that's listed over there all right so on to the fun part somewhere in the frame

is a person hiding behind the invisibility shield i'm going to kick it off with the first scenario

here three two one oh you showed it to me fast in order to give me an extra challenge so i've

definitely got to rewind it i'm gonna be more prepped now that i know how fast this i thought

I wasn't prepared for the speed. I paused it. Is that fair

Oh, I see it now. Okay, it's in front of the it's in front of the window here. But you got to look for it man It right here The shield a person behind it I mean I wouldn think it was a person Wow Jack

Like, I would definitely need more time to spot it, and I would need to know I was looking for it

Wow, yeah, that one's good. Very unusual type of setting. But who knows how you might want to use this thing

for magic tricks, pranks, and such, or possibly for artistic purposes. I'm going to move on to the next one now

There's Jack. We've discovered Jack. Three, two, one. I'm going to try doing the right amount of speed

I had to pause it. I'm just pausing it to defeat your speed factor

You know that? It's up top. Yeah, it's up top. It's on the roof of the sprinter

Well, that means Jack's crouching on top of there. oh van life van life

next one oh this is the easiest one by far how dare

you guys do this to me it's just in front of the

of a garage door come on guys this is not anywhere near the same caliber as the last

ones that you did Oh, this one got me

This one would get me. You have to know what you're looking for. You have to know you're looking for the shield

It's under the desk. You have to know that you're looking for the shield

Outdoor. Immediately spotted it. immediately saw the outdoor one oh i won some of them were really good uh probably the first one

is still the best definitely the first one is still the best when it's up against like glass

or something which already has weird properties it just disappears now this is a scenario like i

said where I'm looking for it actively and I'm kind of right up against it using like pretty

high quality camera equipment to capture the frames but you can imagine in certain environments

covert type of operations at far distances where these type of things will be where this would be

very difficult to pick up and even if you did pick it up you wouldn't like necessarily assume

person you might assume i don know a texture or a window or something it definitely cool technology it one of those things where like in science fiction the idea of an invisibility shield And it kind of amazing to me that this technology is as simple as it actually is when you hold it

they mention you don't need to plug it in there's no electronic aspect to it it's just simply a

variety of lenses at work and the shifting and shaping of light that's capable of achieving this

and it's actually kind of amazing that i've never never even seen it in action before until now so

the shields perform at their absolute best against uniform backgrounds such as foliage grass

rendered walls sand sky and asphalt backgrounds with defined horizontal lines work really well

too and these can be natural features such as the horizon or man-made features like walls

yeah you can see some of the images on their kickstarter are pretty amazing

to see like the ocean the shore or a sunset or something or stairs are pretty cool

they have the estimated delivery december 2022 in order to give them a little bit more leeway

but this is the thing with kickstarters you have to understand you're scaling up production and

things like that so it's a kickstarter that's it i mean what else can you say about it well i don't

know maybe they did it maybe it is the real invisibility shield for all to surprise your

friends and to avoid your enemies that's their tagline up top really yeah i don't know could

Do you take it to like a paintball tournament or something? I don't know

Maybe you don't want to get paint all over it. Today's sponsor is NordVPN
