This hilarious product, called the 'Immersion Scarf,' was designed by three students who operate under the banner of an outfit called 'The Play Coalition'.

The Immersion Scarf is similar to a product introduced by TrendHunter a couple of years ago called the *Privacy Scarf*.

The difference between the two funny-looking products is that while the Privacy Scarf was bigger and better suited for those fat screen computers, the Immersion Scarf was designed for smaller personal gadgets such as [iPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-classic-iphone-17-case), [PSP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patapon-1-2-replay)’s, cell phones and the like.

This is one of the craziest products I have ever seen.
