I don’t know how many of you are familiar with active camouflage, but it is a technology in development that is aimed at allowing individuals (presumably military) to disappear into their surroundings. The idea is actually quite simple. By projecting what is behind someone onto a canvas in front of them, the individual appears semi-transparent.
Having seen some video of active camouflage prototypes, I can tell you that while it has a way to go, it’s very exciting. The effect is similar to that of the Predator in the movies of the same name – a suit/mechanism that allows in individual to blend into their surroundings on a level far superior to standard camouflage. Needless to say – I want one.
