SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the theoretical possibilities of creating invisibility, inspired by H.G. Wells' "The Invisible Man." Participants propose concepts such as a suit with microscopic cells that absorb and project light, similar to technology reportedly used in the latest 007 car. The U.S. Army's exploration of projection-based camouflage is also highlighted, though it is deemed impractical due to cost and effectiveness. The conversation concludes with a mention of advances in OLED technology that may bring the concept of a fully invisible suit closer to reality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of light absorption and projection technologies
  • Familiarity with OLED technology and its applications
  • Knowledge of military camouflage techniques and their limitations
  • Basic principles of optics and visibility
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advancements in OLED technology for potential invisibility applications
  • Explore military camouflage techniques and their effectiveness in modern warfare
  • Investigate the principles of light absorption and projection in optics
  • Learn about the engineering challenges in creating adaptive camouflage systems
USEFUL FOR

Science fiction writers, engineers in optics and materials science, military strategists, and technology enthusiasts interested in the future of invisibility technology.

Let's not have parallel discussions on the same topic...especially one that's been dead a while.

Dopey, what you are doing is spam. Stick to one thread.

I'm closing this and leaving the thread (of this same title) in Gen Engg open.
