All these people not being able to see the fence must sit down and think again….if it reflects the landscape in front of it…certainly my reflection will also be visable…why would I want to walk into myself…stand in front of your mirror in your dressing room…would you try to walk into it…i did not think so.
That’s funny…
Were the people you have mentioned were blind or invisible themselves?????
lol…
As a temporay art display, this is amazing. Creates a sense of “you only see it if someone points it out to you” scenario. Not practical in real life use.
Yep — perhaps as an art installation but definitely not as a permanent feature.
Nice idea. If the landscape which is being reflected is different to the other side, then it will be ok. But it’s a potential health & safety issue if the reflection really is quite invisible. People and animals could conceivably injure themselves, not realising it’s there.
this is a very dangerous idea indeed!
I find the idea amazing! But unpractical because it´s kind of a trap… It´s like those clean glass doors without the white stripe, people end up bumping into it thinking there´s no door… People not expecting it might get injured. If it´s going to be real, atleast make the top of the fence round, to avoid injuring someone going over or landing on that pointy tip by accident. Also, somekind of red stripe or something that makes people still “see” the fence, but that doesn´t ruin the idea might also help this get to the market.
The poor deer that run thru that yard!
