Do you ever wish that you could disappear? It could be fading away from an embarrassing moment or causing a little mischief in your transparent state, but the whole idea of being invisible is intriguing to me. I can't point you to instructions on how to actually disappear, but we just might be closer to that than you think. There are some exciting advancements in the areas of
optical camouflage, which are forging the way for new technologies.
This video is a compilation of experiment clips shot at The University of Tokyo. If you're curious about how it all works,
this page offers descriptive diagrams and comments on the public domain research on optical camouflage.
It sounds like we are not far off from having this technology available to consumers. A DIY invisibility suit may be just around the corner!
