Workplace Evolution # 1
Japanese researchers at Keio University have now reached a stage where objects can actually become invisible to the human eye.
Ever wanted to be invisible at work? Today's your lucky day. Come the moment it is your round to get the teas and coffees in and you might find this invisible technology cloak useful. The implications for many sectors and the workplace itself are numerous. Looking past the obvious armed forces solutions, the way in which we interact with the space around us could now be a whole lot cooler and safer. The technology itself can enable us to see past (or perhaps through) physical objects. Whilst driving or operating machinery the user would be able to see on-coming hazards much more easily. The technology no doubt has implications for the more delicate NHS surgery scenarios.
Time will tell whether this will be a revolutionary technology or the best ever office April Fools kit money can buy!
