Inventor creates a ‘ghost phone’ that can only be seen using smart glasses
If you use public transport on a daily basis like I do, you could possibly share these sentiments with me. For some reason, I feel like someone is always prying into my business whenever am on my phone. Well, this may be a breakthrough for you.
There’s a new way to make sure that only you can see your messages.
A Turkish inventor has created a way to hide iPhone information using a special screen used with glasses. In just four months, Celal Göger from Diyarbakir, Turkey was able to come up with the ‘ghost phone’ which he plans to name C.COGER I.
The phone is modified using a chip which makes the screen appear white. A second chip in a pair of glasses then connects to the phone, making the screen visible to the wearer.
According to Daily Mail, the idea came to Celal when he was travelling around on crowded public transport in Istanbul and felt strangers’ eyes peering over his shoulder at business messages on his phone.
It is unclear when the ghost phone will be available, or how much it will cost.
Celal said:
‘If I can get funding I am planning to take this project further and install an on/off button on the phone which means that the user decides whether to activate the function.’
