    theres supposed to have being **** loads of websites explaining it but the jist of it what i got was that...

    he has a set of cameras on his back whick link to a projector in front of him, it just just shines the image on the coat and produces a really smart effect. Doesnt matter thats its not real invisibitly, the military really wanna get their hands on this so i hear.


    check out the other 2 ones

    haven't downloaded the vids yet, but it sounds like the thing they had on tv3 or news2 about a year ago, was ages ago anyhew.

    They had a person walking towards the guy with the raincoat and you could see through his stomach or something. It worked by having a camera on each side projecting each image onto either side.

    I remember the Predator special effects guys were always going on about how they did there cloaking thing and that the milatary would probally take up the idea of having 100's of small cameras on a person and projecting it to the oppposite side. But that really was years ago.

    yes, as chevy chase has taught us, there are many disadvantages to being invisible.

    Seeing naked ladies isn't one of those btw :p

    you broke the rhyming PORNAPSTER :/

    Looks like bluescreen effects.

    Funny how this 'technology' got all hyped after the Bond Die Another Day 'invisible' car 'invention'.

    Try looking at the weather presenters. If they wear anything with a bit of green or blue (whichever colour the studio uses as the 'bluescreen' colour, you can see straight through them to the map behind them. (when the World Cup was on, some presenters took to wearing Ireland tees. The green bits of these ended up 'invisible')

    It is what it's.

    Its real and I'm sure the worlds only military superpower are already spending a few billion on it!!:D In the demo photo its a camera on his back sending the image to a projector thats probably being held by someone standing beside the camera man. In the finished 'product' it will be a load of tiny little cameras embedded all over the camoflage suit. The image will not be projected. (cause in a combat situation, the wearer might be invisable but the guy holding the projector certainly wouldn't:D ) Instead the 'suit' will be coated with an amazing new invention called 'light emitting polymers' The even mention this in this article. So the camera's on one side of you display their image on the LEP coating on the other side of the 'suit' and vias versa. Other amazing apllications are wallpaper that changes colour or displays images or even video a la Aliens and Back to the Future 2 etc. Remember Ripley sitting in the forest and then someone walks in a door and she 'turns the forest off' revealing the hospital room walls. Remeber the phones in 'Earth Final Conflict. Tiny little tear drop shaped things. You'd pull on the side and a 6x3in video screen would unroll. Its when things like this come out that we will finally feel like we're living in the 21st Century!

    ya but thats done through the tv n computer. if you were there in person you would just seen them perfectly and the green/blue background, nothing else.

    If ya seen the other you would see some guy in a rain coat and be able to 'see through' him and more likely than not a some guy with a projector in front of him and a camera behind him.

    And fairly sure this was around before the jimmy bond film, like i said they were trying different methods of it after predator. The thing is, how to you project something on to yourself and hide the projector.

    Has have the same layer of cameras on each side and bits of screens that prjoect the oppopsite image on each side too. now either the cameras have to be really small to fit between gaps of the screens or be able to see through the screens and there would be a **** load of them. I doubt you would get the same effect if they were on a coat or something that moved that much, it probally best suited to machines, cars etc than invisible suits damn it.

    Any one remeber in that jimmy bond film he hit behind the 'invisible car' heh heh.

    Think about it though. Even if this did work (which I'm fairly certain it does) you'd only be invisable from 1 viewing point. Any other angle and its kinda like looking through a glass of water. You know where you can see everything on the other side but theyre in the wrong places.

    This technology is supposedly only for simple camo. Like theres trees behind you so if someone glances at ou they see trees, wouldnt fool anyone if you were up close or if they looked right at you for a while.
