What if you could redesign your clothes, furniture, or even your walls as easily as changing wallpaper on your phone? Researchers at MIT have built exactly that kind of system, called ChromoLCD. It is a portable device that can “print” high resolution designs onto everyday objects using light and special invisible ink. Developed at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the device works like a simple stamp. You upload an image, place the device on a surface, and it applies the design without complicated setup or modeling. How ChromoLCD uses light to redesign real world objects At the…

Given the sheer amount of media franchises that have been airdropped into Fortnite, it’s no surprise that Invincible found its way into the hit battle royale. For only a couple of months in late 2023, players could purchase a cosmetics pack that granted character skins of Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Allen, and Dupli-Kate. One rather grim but thematically appropriate cosmetic was a backpack modeled after The Immortal’s severed head. These unlockables were removed from the game in September 2025, and who knows when or if they’ll return.
