Commonly used in restaurants, public areas and on the tube system, privacy fields are employed by anyone who wishes to block sound and vision between them and their surroundings. In most cases, images are displayed on either or both sides of the field depending on local and user preferences. User options include either one or two way sound/light blocking.
Technology
The technology employed is the same as that of the transvex wall. However, in order to avoid potentially damaging collisions, power settings are usually low enough to ensure that sound and light at normal intensities may not permeate the fields, but solid objects greater than 100 microns will pass straight through. It is for this reason that the practise of spraying has been outlawed on the tube.
Applications
Most restaurants, bars and stadia are equipped with free-to-use privacy field projectors which are usually configured to compliment the immediate decor of the environment and/or offer the user personalised sound and vision control.
Portable field projectors come in various sizes and ranges but are generally frowned upon in public parks and communal spaces.
Tube privacy fields are charged on a time/distance basis and most users choose to subsidised this cost by allowing the use of the external surface for softAd projection. All tube fields also have higher power configurable transvex bench areas for physical support.
Trivia
Dingleform in Mitchell UpSide was originally designed to be a 'natural' amphitheatre until some self-absorbed Gap decided to Go Ahead inside a high-power, permanently locked privacy field right in the middle of the stage. The individual, who shall forever be nameless had designed the field to display a live feed of his (or possibly her, we are not saying) slowly decaying remains. Such narcissism is never going to be encouraged OnSlab despite the claims of Jason de Brevia34th.Yung that this 'installation' was the purest of high art statements. Consequently Dingleform is now a sailing lake with a small island in the centre which houses the katabatic wind generator. A fitting tribute for a true wind farmer.
