wait.. the camera makes things invisible or the coat?

I can't figure that out either... I'm assuming it's the camera. But it IS a step forward toward real camouflage coats

[Stryke 9]

Meh.

And "meh" at the slow reporting on here, too. Every other board featured this story hours ago.

[Knight Templar]

so if it's the camera, then it has nothing to do with the coat?

:yawn-- err.. better yet, :angryyawn:

Does it only work in sun light ? as her arms are in the shadow.

better=the cloaking thing where the surface is covered with tiny TV screens and a camera in back of it.

[JR2000Z]

Yeah. They've been working on optic camouflage that thing for years.

[StratComm]

Bah, that's just simple logic, but it'd only ever work one way.  For a camera to be as effective as that is demonstrating, it would have to be fairly large and couldn't be covered by the reverse side camo.  The transparent cockpit idea sounds good though.  Funny thing is, it never mentions military applications.  Oh well, I guess a camera-and-projection system would be too fiddly and expensive for combat units anyway.

somebody invented the worlds blackest material recently - 25 times less reflective than anything else. Cost about £500/$800 per square inch.

Edit: Linkification.

You see thorough her. It's not reflections. It's something like glass or TV. The person in front of the TV camera is projected on you TV. (DUH) Better yet, It's something like a one way street.

"It's the blackest surface commercially available," he told BBC News Online. "It's a very interesting surface to look at because it's so black."

I think this man has a fetish..

although I like the quote

[Stryke 9]

People say that about me all the time.

as long as it's not CBT everything's fine

The British army tried this optical **** with tanks a few years back.
Don't know if it worked though.
