It is an imagined design that looks like a 'ghost' to blend into the background and has a more discreet setting. The word 'Geist' means 'spirit' or 'ghost' and this concept design is backed by a clear body appearing to be a simple piece of cloth in the background. The structure resembles a cartoon-like ghost and rests on an angle to appear as if it is floating forward. The [camera is integrated into the 'eye'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-camera-concept) and can be turned downwards to [protect privacy when needed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-surveillance).
