“We were inspired by blockbuster movies and sci-fi enthusiasts that forever fantasized about the possibility of making someone invisible,” Gregor Lawson, co-founder of Morphsuits, said in a statement. “We have created a range of costumes that inspire unrivalled shock and awe, and the Hollow Man Morphsuit is somewhat of a holy grail in that regard.” [Photos: Best Science-Themed Halloween Costumes]

Rober caught Morphsuit’s attention when he created a Halloween outfit that sported two iPads linked by video chat, which appeared to create a hole through the wearer. This costume was a major inspiration for the invisibility morphsuit.

Rober was part of a team of scientists and engineers who developed the patent-pending “MirrorMorph” technology to make the costume’s wearer invisible. The scientists designed more than 200 concept suits using different technologies in an effort to find one that achieves complete invisibility.
