periscopelike

Periscopelike refers to the appearance or function of a periscope, which is an optical instrument used to observe objects that are out of direct line of sight. The term "periscopelike" is often used to describe objects or systems that mimic the design or function of a periscope. This can include devices that allow for observation or surveillance from a concealed or elevated position, such as those used in military or security applications. The periscopelike design typically involves a series of mirrors or lenses that direct light at an angle, enabling the viewer to see around obstacles or from a different perspective. This concept is also sometimes applied metaphorically to describe any system or process that involves indirect observation or hidden access.
