I’m probably bad at explaining it, but the ring doesn’t make everyone invisible, just hobbits. The ring wants to be worn so that it can exert the most control over the wearer in an attempt to return to sauron, it tempts people to wear it by giving them a taste of what they desire the most and hobbits simply want to be left alone and not seen or bothered, which is why they just turn invisible. This is also why hobbits are the idea race to carry and protect the ring as they dont crave power so it is harder for the ring to corrupt them.
I think Boromir holds the ring in the movies, but I don’t think he did that in the books. Either way, he doesn’t turn invisible in either medium.
There are a few ring-wearers that don’t turn invisible when donning the ring: Sauron, Isildur, and curiously, Tom Bombadil, on whom the ring seems to have no effect.

Isn’t there a scene where either Aragon or Boromir wears the ring and turns invisible? Or am I making this up?
In the movie Isildur wears it and turns invisible! :)
Ahh, okay, thanks! It’s been a while since I last watched

You are making it up. Boromir tries to take it from Frodo and Frodo puts it on during the altercation.
That was the movies though, can’t remember if that was the books as well.
Actually no he isn’t, in the movie Isildur wears it and turns invisible! The argument now resides in determining if the movies are canon or not.
