Active camouflage -- tricks of the light


Stunning footage of optical camouflage technology at the university of Tokyo, where retroreflectors are used to capture the visual behind an object and LCDs paint it on the front. I'm not clear if this is actual footage of the tech in motion, or just video FX -- either way, it's croggling. Link Discuss (Thanks, Chris!)
