Printable paper burkha headpiece

The product is a modified paper bag, sized to fit a human (female) head, a camera and printer, and appropriate software.

Islamic cultures frequently require women to cover their entire body in a concealing garment (Burkha).

This makes it difficult to recognise the individual under the robes.

So, the would-be burkha wearer stands in front of the camera and the system snaps their picture without the burkha. The printer transfers their image onto the paper bag. The user then puts on the burkha and puts the bag over their head. They can then be recognised, but their features are not actually visible. There is a translucent panel in the bag so the wearer can see where they're going.

Allowing for day-to-day changes in hairstyle, makeup, jewelry etc. it is envisaged that the headpiece may be changed once a day, or perhaps more often.

"photo booth" devices could be placed in public areas where burkha-wearers could "refresh" their appearance when away from home.
