Necromancer- 0 Posted June 15, 2004 I really doubt anything as simple as this can work. The "image behind" is nice, but actually what is "behind" depends on where are you viewing the "invisible guy" from, therefore by using this technique you will be invisible only from one direction.If you are able to predict where the viewer is (like when taking a press photo of this technique , or perhaps in some combat situation, it can work quite nice), but if the viewer's position is arbitrary, the results will be bad. Surely... its good enough in Woodland area's.. I want this suit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schoeler 0 Posted June 16, 2004 I read somewhere that the U.S, Air Force was working on an aircraft skin that used electromagnetic energy to warp the path of light emissions. The effect is that anyone staring at the aircraft from any angle sees blue sky from refracted light around the actual aircraft and the light bouncing off the skin of the craft bends away from any would-be observers. I don't know how well it works, but I don't suppose we'd be told if it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question would be how the pilot is supposed to see anything when the 'light is warped' around his ship... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balschoiw 0 Posted June 16, 2004 the concept is pretty useless for uniforms or vehicles. War is dirt. Things get terribly dirty during war. So even if the surrounding could be displayed on the vehicle or uniform it would be useless. I think a Chameleon camouflage that adopts colors from the surrounding and forms shapes to loose the sillhouette would be much more efficient than a walking mirror with dirty boots on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
