invisable man... really

Ananova:

Japanese scientist invents 'invisibility cloak'

A Japanese scientist has developed a coat which appears to make the wearer invisible




The illusion was part of a demonstration of optical camouflage technology at Tokyo University.

It is the brainchild of Professor Susumu Tachi who is in the early stage of research he hopes will eventually make camouflaged objects virtually transparent.

The photograph was taken through a viewfinder that uses a combination of moving images taken behind the wearer to give a transparent effect.

It's hoped the technology will be useful for surgeons frustrated their own hands and surgical tools can block their view of operations and pilots who wish cockpit floors were transparent for landings.

I didn't read the whole article, but if you look at the people walking "through" the cloak it looks like the perspective is off, which would imply that the image of them was taken at a higher angle than the camera taking the foreground picture. The shadows don't line up either.

Anyhow, no time to read the article right now. Are they recording the image from behind and then projecting it on the front? That's what it looks like.

there was also a thing on TLC with tanks using similar technology. it dosnt make the object transparent, but translucent. enough where its hard as hell.... almost impossible to pic out a stationary object with a background around it(trees, bushes, etc)
