Japanese Scientist Invents Invisibility Cloak & More!

A professor at the University of Tokyo has developed an optical camouflage system that makes a special reflective material seemingly disappear, including the wearer! The picture on the coat is made by a viewfinder which puts together the moving images behind the wearer. It's hoped the technology will be useful for surgeons to be able to see through their hands and tools and also for pilots so the cockpit floor will be transparent for landings.

I think that whether or not itz a projection doesnt matter, just think of the fun stuff u cud do with a thing like that... Why do we care about how it works, especially if it causes arguments. just so long as it goes on sale and is usable, im happy.

it uses the same video software techniques used in the HP commercial, (the one were a person holding a white frame makes pictures of himself, and again and so on) instead of a white frame wich the computer uses as a reference point to paste an image or other visual feed, here it uses a single color coat or a mirror surface or otherwise smooth one color surface to paste an video feed or camera output behind the inviseble object... youre actually watching behind the object with a camera

They need to design a car like the Aston Martin in James Bond: Die Another Day. With the invisibility and the shotguns and the other unneccesary features.

ya it's semi real, and it seems like it will become usefull if you read the top. I agree though, an invisable car would kick ass but you kinda freaked me out with the weapons and stuff you would add... ^_^;

if there was a camera on the back, then how come when he was at his side and it showed the side of it? hmm? and wouldnt a camera on the back of it make a smaller image to be shown?

That is called a blue or green screen . basicaly they take a shot of the background, the guy is wearing blue or green, and the items he has in his hand are painted blue or green. this makes it possible to project the background only on the blue or green areas. In fact if ths was some invisible gadget when the guy moves the ball in front of his head you should see his face behind the ball not the wall!
