With two iPad 2s and a little ingenuity, Mark Rober created a Halloween costume that makes it look like he's had a giant hole blown clean through his torso.
"I went to a Halloween party tonight and had tried out my costume idea of using 2 iPads with a FaceTime chat to make it look like I had a huge hole in my stomach," said Rober, a mechanical engineer who works for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in an e-mail to Wired.com.
On his YouTube page, Rober gives a little more detail (plus a power tip: Bring your own MiFi for constant connectivity). "Basically you start a FaceTime chat between the iPads and then tape one to your front and one to your back," he writes. "Add a little red paint and you're good to go."
See the effect in the video above as Rober demonstrates the concept. It's not the cheapest Halloween getup you could whip up, but it's one of the quickest -- and has obvious potential for applications in zombie costumes.
