Is this all-time humankind dream becoming reality??

It could quickly turn sour...:(

It's hoped the technology will be useful for surgeons frustrated their own hands and surgical tools can block their view of operations


When will people being to realize that key technologies must be developed to adapt to the ever-changing Pr0n industry?

Is that a hello kitty patch I see? :p

A much more advanced iteration of this technology isn't too far off... or so I think :)

Already in development, organic LED's will find their way onto clothing soon... In the consumer sector, it will start with small displays on hats and t-shirts, but it's not unrealistic to say that the military will have full garments and helmets sporting this new display technology...

Using a backpack computer, and approx. 15-20 garment mounted pin sized CCD units protruding 1" or so from the fabric base, the system (if powerful enough) COULD assign camera input to various locations on the garments... So when you first turned it on, the garment would be blank, but after rotating 360 degrees and taking 2 steps back, the system could cloak the user in real time...

... I have yet to see this technology, but I'd have to imagine that it's already in development. If I'm an ordinary person non-involved with military development, and I can extrapolate our current state of usage of this technology, then I'm sure the *secret scientists* already have something out along the same vein...

So maybe this is pure imagination, but I deem it realistic...

Whatcha think? THis idea's been in my head since like 2 yrs ago when EE Times posted a few articles about the state of OLED's in the military...

Being an Invisible Man is not all its cracked up to be... as you will learn if you red H.G Wells' novel "The Invisible Man".... but I'd say thats one of his wost novels.. its quite boring. :(

Invisible Soldiers would be useful of course, but I'd say you had to be rather careful about how to use them too... Put too many of them in a complicated battle and they'll keep running in front of each others guns, since they don't see each other... also, never send them across snow, or sand, since then they may be detected anyhow.
Also you'd better make sure they are 100% loyal and stay that way. The last thing a general, or president, needs i a few invisible soldiers gone mad in the terror of battle and now hell-bent on killing the people who sent them on that one really dangerous mission.

Also, all the Invisible Man movies tells us that everyone made invisible gets Industrial Strength Megalomania. :)

There are things man should not meddle in. :)

An invisibility cloak on the other hand... which can be taken on or off at will... I'd like to have one of those. :)

Tell me if you think the same thing I think... :wtf: :eek2:

haha, i knew this a repost!

The military has been working on this alot longer than this japanese firm. The suit is actually nearing completion and there are rumors that it is actually operational. It won't be phased into special army units however until about 2010-2015(at least that is what is estimated) for regular use. They have also been attempting this through a chemical route, how they are doing it, I have no idea, but heck, they have the funds and most definately the means, so its just a matter of time now:D perfect snipers...:p

[ragejg]

yer kidding me!

THe only thing I'd heard about the military *actually* developing was OLED displays to mount on the undersides of planes... That thing about the soldiers was just an extrapolation of the mention of displays on t-shirts... dang my imagination is accurate sometimes...

note: i said *sometimes*

:alien:

Nah it is not fake. Basically the material the suit and the shapes are made of reflect back a certain kind of a projectcion. If some one stands behind you, they cant see through you. If some one stands between you and the projector you are no longer inivisible.


Here is further stuff.

I think it's pure BS.
Check the video I posted. Why do you see the back image and not his head? Is his head invisible too??

It clearly looks like the "chroma effect" (at least that's called in spanish.... don't know in english). You put a colored object, and the system changed it for another image or video. It's usually used in news channels, where the guys have a red/blue/green paper behind but you see a nice nature picture or computers...

Check the background is always still... like if they first filmed the background and then used it to replace the colored object...

Also, check the pic I posted. It's clear that the 3 guys and the car "behind" him are a bit weird there.... the street seems to be higher than where it's through him!! And the guy in the bicycle can't be seen neither.
