I thin some of you already know this "Adaptive Camouflage".

But, how about this "Optical Camouflage" a la Ghost in the Shell or Harry Potter ?

Intriguing.....the logistics of invisibility....

That is really wild stuff. Soon the government will not only be listening to everything we say, they will be sitting next to us when we say it.

It seems that it works by projecting an image on the masked object. From the not too clear drawing, it looks like a mirror is involved, too. So I'm invisible, sorta, more like blurred, provided that I stay under an overhead projector and behind a large mirror, and that the guy looking at me doesn't move around too much. Somehow, I can't see (heh) many practical applications for this.
