The Invisible Man Becomes Visible

For 32 years, automatic doors refused to acknowledge Marcus Peterson's existence. 

"It's like I'm some kind of ghost," he'd explain, standing awkwardly outside grocery stores, hotel lobbies, and airport terminals—waving his arms frantically while others breezed through magically parting entryways. 

At 5'4", Marcus had developed one reliable coping mechanism: following closely behind taller strangers, timing his steps perfectly to slip through doors before they sensed his absence and closed unexpectedly.

Then came The Great CapFlags Revelation of February 2025.

While browsing online for yet another "How to Trigger Motion Sensors" tutorial, Marcus stumbled upon CapFlags. A vibrant blue CapFlag caught his eye—not as a fashion statement, but as potential salvation.

The next morning, Marcus approached the sliding doors of his local supermarket with newfound confidence, the flag atop his cap adding crucial inches to his vertical profile. The sensors swept their invisible beam... and DETECTED HIM IMMEDIATELY.

"I felt like I'd finally been accepted by the technological world," Marcus told us, fighting back tears. "Do you know what it's like to spend your life as a walking ghost, invisible to infrared technology? Then suddenly—BOOM—you're seen?"

Since then, Marcus has assembled a collection of different CapFlags, rotating them based on mood and occasion. And somehow, even the most temperamental automatic doors now respond with immediate respect.

"I used to dread every building entrance. Now I look forward to them. It's like walking up to a friend who's excited to see you."

This National Automatic Door Day, we celebrate Marcus and all the once-invisible people now living their best lives thanks to CapFlags. Because everyone deserves to be seen.
