Correction:
The hearts of every teen male *and Scott Ritter* just skipped a beat, thinking about using this cloak and the girls' locker room.

That guy should be more careful about who he steals his "inventions" from. Once Otacon tells Snake about this, he's toast.

The photograph was taken through a viewfinder that uses a combination of moving images taken behind the wearer to give a transparent effect. So, the picture is simply trick videography. Anyone can mix two video sources keyed on color or chroma level to make it look like something is invisible, transparent, or semi-transparent. Almost every recent movie uses blue or green screen effects. Weathermen on TV news use it constantly - who hasn't seen a tie or a shirt disappear?
Now, if everyone in the entire world was forced to wear this special "viewfinder" - then we could make things invisible at will. Excellent idea - I have to hand it to the Japanese for coming up with that one.

Camouflage - he's invented 'camouflage' (urban camouflage in this case)?

Aside from subterfuge, it would still have some use...
It's hoped the technology will be useful for surgeons frustrated their own hands and surgical tools can block their view of operations and pilots who wish cockpit floors were transparent for landings.
