The app to become invisible
Since the beginning of time, humanity has wished to become invisible for different reasons. For that same reason, a large number of companies have invested large amounts of money in developing a technology capable of creating dark clothing or accessories capable of hiding a person in their environment.
Japanese programmer Kazuya Noshiro has barely needed an iPhone X and its Face ID technology. As demonstrated through his Twitter account, the developer can suppress his face, relying on Face ID sensors, and replace it with the rest of the elements behind him. That is, he has been able to become invisible to the eyes of the iPhone X camera.

This platform is capable of projecting (from infrared) up to 30,000 points on the face of the person, which allows replacing the face by the back of the room.
The programmer explained that he is working on an application together with the Japanese platform for the development of Unity games. Therefore, facing the future, all those users of the iPhone X could follow the steps of Noshiro and disappear in the eyes of the iPhone X screen.
