Must have been a closeted D&D fan. Okay, maybe Ghost in the Shell.
A Japanese scientist has developed a coat which appears to make the wearer invisible.
Nope. Definitely Harry Potter.
Cool. Just imagine the fraternity pranks one could pull with a cloaking device. :)The illusion was part of a demonstration of optical camouflage technology at Tokyo University.
It is the brainchild of Professor Susumu Tachi who is in the early stage of research he hopes will eventually make camouflaged objects virtually transparent.
Neat.
Whoa.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 isn't an image of the technology at work... it's a trick photo made using a clever camera and/or a clever technique?
So much for 'cloaking' technology.
*Yawn*
Wake me when Tokyo University stops playing with Photoshop and announces their results are science.
