There are two ways to do this, I will be using the one that does not require FilteringEnabled (FE.)
Useful Resources:

Alright, what you'd need to do is have a LocalScript somewhere within the player or character (this includes PlayerGui/StarterGui, Backpack, Humanoid, etc.)
In that LocalScript, you will be inserting a part into the local player's CurrentCamera, like so:
Local Part Insertion
LocalScript in StarterGui
local localCamera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
Insert.new("Part", localCamera)
Anything in the local player's CurrentCamera can only be seen by that player.
The downside with using this technique, though, is that scripts cannot run inside CurrentCamera, so I do not suggest using this technique if you have scripts in those parts or anything like that. A solution to this is to have the scripts outside of CurrentCamera, yet the parts inside, and edit those parts that way.
I also suggest that you learn to use FilteringEnabled:

To do this you will need a local script on backpack. What you will do is make the local script target the local player's camera.
So, you only need to do
part.Parent = workspace.CurrentCamera
CurrentCamera returns the local player's current camera. On scripts itll return the template camera.
Hope this helps!

Don't discourage people to not use FE. This answer is fine, but downvoting a better solution is not.

There is no need to downvote each other. My opinion, if you're not advanced or you're too far along in the development process of your game use CurrentCamera. If you know how to, use FilteringEnabled. However I encourage both of you to provide such option. You two do not need to downvote each other.

You don't really need FE lol
Without FE you are nothing.
FilteringEnabled is usually better, but if you don't want to rewrite your scripts, it's easier to use CurrentCamera.
