The way I understand it, it's not quite the real thing yet, but very interesting.

Optical Camouflage video on YouTube

There a short article http://transstudio.com/tm/2007/01/optical-camouflage.htm as well.

So, what do you think?

Its interesting, sort of a very cool invention.
 
That's really cool! Kids of the future will be able to go out on Halloween dressed at floating heads!
 
I do notice that the traffic doesn't seem to have any problem seeing him.
Looks like some sort of chromakey setup.
Kinda cool though.
 
I just can't help imagining how cool it will be to one day go paintballing dressed in something that! It will be like hunting down "Predator" :biggrin:
