The Portal Shirt by Ben Heck is a Techie Halloween Costume
Meghan Young — October 27, 2010 — Special
The Portal Shirt might be more than a little disconcerting, but considering how it's a Halloween costume, it justly serves its purpose to scare.
Created by none other than Ben Heck, "king of the video game modders," as Dvice puts it, the Portal Shirt features an LCD panel on the front and a camera in the back to transmit the scene from behind on the wearer's chest, giving the illusion of a hole through the body. Although the Portal Shirt isn't for sale, he's giving it away via a contest.
