## What it does

Glowing blue lines trace across your body, and sleek white and silver armor plates fly in and click into place over your shoulders, chest and arms. Your face stays uncovered as small lights pulse along the suit.

## From our test

We tested a man in a gray t-shirt in a large hangar. Blue light traced his shirt, then white armor snapped on and left his face uncovered. It took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a waist-up photo with your shoulders and arms visible.
- Wear a plain top so the armor sits cleanly.
- Face the camera in even light.

## Ideas for using it

- A sci-fi fan posts a hero reveal for a fandom account.
- A game streamer makes an intro for a channel.
- A friend sends a costume idea before a convention.
