Be invisible now... no, really.

well... this has to be one of the most amazing technologies ever developed. and it's true, its no bull. If this ever gets into real production, it will maybe unleash a new era of technology.
get those videos to be utterly amazed.

I can see people coming with the idea that all is just a CG, but it IS true.

Took me a while to fully understand how it works, but damn that's cool. Heh, leave it to the Japanese.

Thats amazing! When he was wearing the coat, it didn't look quite right, but I imagine it's because you could see his face. The ball and cube was amazing though.

Thats old news it was on "eXtra" a while ago...darn those japanesse and their technology!

Either that's an easy rendering job, or that stuff's real. Either way I want it

The clothes one is very close to reality - I read about it first in Wired magazine. Their current problem is the lack of cameras for it. Not sure about the rest though

I used to think about stuff like that when I was little, I'd buy one. How much?

Wonder how long before they make an automotive aplication.

Yeah they want to use OLEDs which are organic LED's, they are paper thin, can be sewn into clothing and are flexible, tehy are also very bright and use way less energy. Think of the posibilities. I guess if you wanted to you could download or design your own shirts then upload them into your shirt and wear your own designs. Get more memory and video could be possible. bored in class? just turn on your t shirt!

Call me stupid, and maybe I'm missing something, but when the guy is waving the brick and the ball infront of his face, it shows the bookshelf. Why doesn't it show his face, as that's what's directly behind the object?

I guess this discovery reached GTP very late.

It was a popular thing to talk by the time Metal Gear Solid 2 was out.

only the jacket is real - the rest aren't. Even the jacket though, I don't think that particular pic is the original one.

I saw a pic of the jacket ages ago, early last year in an issue o PC Format, it was that guy in the streets and you could see two people walkin away behind and through him.
