OLD-SCHOOL news.......... I'm very dissappointed it was a japanese scientist who did this first and it was even featured at WIRED magazine! JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY still rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ the howstuffworks link! The projector thing works, but it is not camouflage, unless you can carry a projector and camera around and always get the enemy to stand just in the right place. The article doesn't mention the projector, because the article is in a Russian tabloid and is not true. The picture with the article is a picture of the projector trick.Seriously, you people need to think before you believe/digg something. The only possible way to have an "active camouflage" would be to somehow take a picture of what's behind you and display that picture on your clothes, with the picture changing when the viewer's angle changes. A "sub-micron stratum of microscopical colloid golden particles" on one side of you cannot do that. The quality of Digg is really declining.
Here is a link to National Geographic. "..the proposed cloaking device would not require any peripheral attachments (such as antennas or computer networks) and would reduce visibility no matter what angle an object is viewed at." "Alú and Engheta investigated experimental plasmonic covers that incorporated metals, such as gold and silver, to hide visible light. When light strikes a metallic material, waves of electrons, called plasmons, are generated. The engineers found that when the frequency of the light striking the material matched the frequency of the plasmons, the two frequencies act to cancel each other out." <a class="user" href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/02/0228_050228_invisibility.html">http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/02/0228_050228_invisibility.html</a>
