Dazzler
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
A dazzler was a Forerunner-designed camouflage technique that caused visual and auditory delusion.[1][2]
Possible uses
- The pedestal housing the slipspace crystal in the central chamber of the Menachite Forerunner complex was surrounded by what appeared to be spatial distortion, causing those approaching the crystal to become disoriented and lose their sense of direction despite supposedly walking directly toward the pedestal. This may have been due to a dazzler, a baffler (another camouflaging technique employing geometric distortions) or an effect generated by the crystal itself.[3]
- The station of the Lifeworker Genemender Folder of Fortune on Installation 07 likely used some form of this technology in conjunction with sophisticated hard light holography, as the system was able to conceal both the Lifeworker's high-technological outpost from plain view as well as other features that mere holographic overlays could not have hidden, including the tall grass that had grown in the compound after it had fallen into disrepair.[4]
