iPad FaceTime Halloween Costume Lets You See Right Through Your Body

[Phil A.]

Personally I think it's a completely unrealistic "hole in the body" effect - you can see the rest of the iPad screen beneath his clothes and it doesn't even align properly

In fact, I think it looked more like this

than some amazing hallowe'en stunt

Cloaking a tank

I always thought this was going to be the next way the military was going to cloak their vehicles, instead of camo. Many cameras on one side broadcasting the signal to the opposite side of the vehicle. The only hiccup was the availability of a flexible screen that could be wrapped around the vehicle, those screens are now becoming available to really make this viable.

wow

How does one respond to something that stupid? I've written and deleted 4 comments already and am simply left with "wow". (and not in a good way)

As noted by Gizmodo, one NASA engineer has used the iPad 2's FaceTime video conferencing feature to his advantage when creating a Halloween costume:The two video conferenced iPads gives the impression of a gaping hole in the middle of his torso.

In theory, a surface that projects what's behind it doesn't have to be flexible and be fitted to the vehicle in order to be hidden. If you walked holding a big rectangular screen out in front of you, it would look invisible as long as it showed exactly what should be behind it, including what's behind you adjusted for your relative positions. The trouble is that it would be from one particular point of view, so if two people were in front on you in different positions they couldn't both see the correct image on a flat screen.

nice (but expensive) costume!

good ideia!

 

[ThanksSteve]

Inventive, but I'd still have to go with this guy for best Apple-related costume:

Two iPhone 4's and smaller hole

Great idea. Can use two iPhones and get the same result, only a smaller hole.

I'm going try that now, since we have two iphone 4's.

No one is bothered that it's not alligned?

Bothers me but not as much as you misspelling "alligned" (I kid) Still it's an original idea and pretty clever.

Glad that you can use red paint instead of fake blood if you're strapped for cash!

I like this idea very much. Although, I feel it's a bit much to be walking around with two iPads taped onto your body. Especially at a party.
