The visibility conjecture for visible parts of planar compact sets

From papers

Let KR2K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2} be compact. For σ[1,1]\sigma \in[-1,1], let visσ(K)\operatorname{vis}_{\sigma}(K) denote the points of KK that are not followed by another point of KK along the ray of slope σ\sigma. Visibility conjecture.

H1(visσ(K))1\mathcal{H}^{1}(\operatorname{vis}_{\sigma}(K)) \leq 1

for H1\mathcal{H}^{1}-almost every σ[1,1]\sigma \in[-1,1]. This predicts a universal one-dimensional bound for visible parts in almost every direction; its resolution is not supplied in the source.
