It is a lightweight, portable shield that doesn't need power to function.

The technology behind the function of the shield is fairly simple. A precision-engineeredworks to deflect light from the subject , away from the observer . The lenses are oriented vertically to allow light from the subject to diffuse when it passes through the shield. The light from the subject's background is refracted towards the observer who cannot spot the subject hiding behind the shield.

After trialing multiple lens shapes, angles, and depths as well as ways to mount them on a scaffold, the team settled on a technique that does not even require toxic resins that are commonplace in such builds. The shield works best against uniform backgrounds such as foliage, grass, sand, and sky but will also work well against walls, painted lines, and rails, the company claims on its Kickstarter page. The company offers these shields in two sizes, a full size which is about 3 x 2 feet, sufficient to hide a full-grown human or even two behind it while sitting down. The other one measures about 12 x 8 inches.

Just in case, you do not find a use for it after a few years, the entire assembly can be recycled just as wastes generated during their production are. The company has also tied up with logistic teams that work towards reducing emissions while making their deliveries. The company has already secured 362 orders at the time of this writing and is estimated to make its deliveries by December this year.
