Intent: To create an updated version of the old Holographic Image Disguiser.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Shadow Tech Industries - STI
Model: Holoshroud
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Semi-unique
Material: Durasteel, Composites
Description: As a holographic image disguiser (also known as a holoshroud), it is a highly advanced, and very expensive, portable holoprojector that could be used to disguise an existing object or person. This particular is designed to be worn as an armband. The reason for this is to be able to improve on the capabilities of the earlier models by allowing for a bigger unit. As such, the holoshroud is a able to hold 4 images in its memory banks and work for a grand total of 5 minutes, instead of the 2 minutes run time the original had. This new advantage is thanks to the larger battery storage within the unit, as well as larger memory core. Longer run times could be possible if the unit was hooked up to a larger power source.
When in use, a holoshroud projected a mostly pre-rendered image over the target; the image had to be at least the same size as the target object or larger for obvious reasons. The high-quality image was incredibly realistic; capable of fooling the unaided eye, it even moved when the object or person did. However, the drawback to this, is it has a tell-tale "flicker". While too fast for the normal eye to perceive, it may allow some droids, cameras and other sensors to detect that something was amiss. (Source of technology)
Strengths:
Creates a image that overlays a subject, perfectly disguising them from the naked eye.
Weaknesses:
Short run time
Expensive
Disguise much more easily detectable by droids, cameras, and/or sensors to be a fake.
