Invisibility Cloak A Reality

Wanna dress like the Predator? An inventor showed his new invisibility technology in San Francisco last month, and wowed everyone.

Professor Tachi's cloak works by projecting an image onto itself of what is behind the wearer.

A computer generates the image that is projected, so the viewer effectively sees "through" the cloak.

The key development of the cloak, however, was the development of a new material called retro-reflectum.

"This material allows you to see a three-dimensional image," Professor Tachi said.

"This material is the key to our technology."

The only problem would be if criminals got ahold of one of these cloaks. Even if they did, it's still really frickin' cool, isn't it?

If I was a pilot I don't think I would want to see through the bottom of my plane. It would feel like the plane is made outa glass. (Hope theres no opera singers on board)

That would freak me out. I already have a fear of flying, I don't need invisible floors to make the trip even more horrifying.

This is old technology.

It's real value would be making military people and equipment invisable, btw, say a show about this tech on tv about 10 years ago-military end of it.

Yes this has been mentioned before here

Nevertheless, thanks for the link. Interesting stuff indeed I wonder how long it will take to be bought out by some major corporation or censored and folded into the military for special forces. I can think of alot of things I would do with one Paintballing would be awesome with one of those. Game of hide and seek anyone?
