I thought it was the Romulans who invented the Alpha Quadrant Cloaking device, (In Trek) that made the scientists look. Klingons only got the tech when they made an alliance with the Romualns... eh... am I saying too much?

Terrorists would love it.

For the way eyes works, invisibility is not possible to realize.

Camoflage is not an invention, as it is used since the beginning of human kind, and by mother nature since a few billions years ago.

Adaptive camoflage is a bit better, but not that smart and effective after all.

[az]

Yes, but near invisibility might become reality. Or invisibility to a one-eyed or a camera

Ok, let's take an entity, call it X, that want to be invisible.

What X has to do to became invisible is:

1) Find all the entities capable to see into the area. X can reduce the number of target to all the things he wants to became invisible to.

2) Have a 3D photo of the ambient around him, in a complete sphere.

3) For each entity he wants to became invisible, extract the part of the image that the entity would see if X was not there.

4) For each entity he wants to became invisible, trasmit directly into the entity's vision organs the resulting image. But before, he need to correct the image accordingly to the viewer viewing capability.

5) If not capable to trasmit as above, simply transmit the image from a screen that is into the viewing cone of the receiver. Before trasmission, the image must be ortogonal corrected and a few more.


Nearly invisible? LOL!

[az]

Yes, so you CAN be nearly invisible to ONE eye.

What about a really clean bit of non-reflective glass?

[az]

And how useful would it be to wear that as camouflage?

[GNEP]

Well, if it was bullet-proof, they wouldn't know that they can't hit you... errr.... that's it really.

Drizzt, they're doing exactly what you laughed at. Laugh all you want, but there's plenty to suggest they're pulling it off. Also, they're more interested in something of the slightly longer range, where your eyes act more like one POV. Also, they seem to be using projected light, so you don't worry as much about where the "entity" is. Two people looking at the same spot from different angles would be shown different things automatically.
