I choose 1 and either learn echolocation, or get a fancy implant that does it for me.
Although if 1 is instantaneous and you have perfect control of the power, you could probably avoid others seeing you by flickering really fast. I bet there's an optimal pulse width and frequency where you would be effectively invisible to people while still being able to see enough. A high speed camera would still catch you though.
Do some training so that you could flicker at exactly 60 frames a second, and most cameras, assuming that you caught the right 60th of a second, would not even see you.
You also might be able to time with the saccadic rhythm of the eyes and make yourself invisible to a single viewer while still retaining your vision thanks to persistence of vision.
And, assuming you knew you had to walk in a straight line or something, you could just go invisible, walk straight forward to your destination, and then turn visible again.
In case 1, what will happen to the photons that my body emits, i.e. heat radiation?
You stop emitting photons while invisible. This does not have any unpleasant aide effects.
1 is useful.
Version 1 is too "irl" lol
Version 2 sounds like just a shitty videogame mechanic that the devs are gonna nerf in the next update becuase people complaining about it being "Too OP"
1. I think it’s good to occasionally be rid of visual stimuli
Option 2 so i can at least see
So fully invisible still takes a long time to achieve as you need to shed clothing.
In which case we are comparing sight vs not moving?
Number one, easy, my vision is already terrible, it's barely a price.
So the second one is like the things some squids do? Yes. That one please. I always wanted to blend into the background and spook my friends >:D Endless mischief!
If other people don’t know about it I can just turn invisible after they catch me and they’ll assume they were having a stroke
