I'll have to see it to believe it.

[The Great Satan]

Mark my words, this can only lead to tragedy.

[KantianBurke]

ah he just stole it from the wood elves of Lothlorien

[Billthedrill]

I just don't see it, myself.

[FreedomFarmer]

The tele-tubbies invented it first.

[Larry Lucido]

He's right. I can't even see it!

[Political Junkie Too]

Maybe he can work on the "Ring" next.

There was a second posting of this article in which I said that this wasn't a novel discovery- - remember the Romulans'cloaking device?

[Puddleglum]

Here's a better picture of it:

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.

Can you see me now?

30 post and counting and no one has said it...

ALL YOUR CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY ARE BELONG TO US!

[_Jim]

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

[Hatteras]

This was already invented...

By this guy...

[chilepepper]

Flashers will be the first to buy them... imagine, nothing, then.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww! disgusting

[Southack]

This guy has NOTHING on what my wife can do to make money "disappear".

[The_Reader_David]

No, the fictional inspiration wasn't the Bond movie: in Escaflowne, one of the most popular anime of the 1990's, the anthropomophic fighting machines serving the villains have stealth cloaks (literal cloaks, at that) which render them invisible, but have the drawback that they can't be used in flight.

If the method can be extended to the full electro-magnetic spectrum, radar won't be any good, you'll need Hitomi Kanzaki to find things hidden in the cloaks. ^_^ (Japanese-style smiley).

I'll get this and the anti-grav unit, and become...a superhero!

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....
