- 0Troy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Hey, lets digg a blog that has one sentance about the topic and then links to the ACTUAL information. Great.
The actual link is here:

next week, we'll link to a blog that links to a blog that links to a blog that links to the FIRST blog... - nebbyfoshebby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4http://science.howstuffworks.com/invisibility-cloak3.htm
^explanation and other picture. - hcetrepus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Its true, the guy driving the floating car was wearing one

There's a video. Just search for it. - zediker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I can make you invisible to anyone, all i have to do is just poke everyone else's eyes out.
- bribera, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is a BS patent - this was done by a japanese researcher in 2003:

Give credit to those who actually invented it!

Here is one dupe link that made the front page:
http://digg.com/technology/Video_of_Active_Camouflage_In_Action - centronm9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is old but here are 6 videos to watch showing it and the technology in action:
http://www.thegreenhead.com/technology/2004/05/japanese-scientist-invents.php - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The item has five links -- two links to English-language Russian sites with slightly different accounts of the story, one link telling how this is different from the University of Tokyo technology, and two links to other cloaking invention items in the "Mike's List" newsletter.
Which of the four links would you rather not know about? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0----I had an invisibility cloak... I lost it though... I sware its around here somewhere....-----

Funny comment. - alceria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting story, lame link. Why not link to the source? Bleh.
- ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0PROOF THAT DIGG USERS ARE GENERALLY DUMBER THAN THE SLASHDOT CREW: Look at the number of idiots calling it a photoshop job. If you take the time you wasted saying 'Fake no digg' and googled it you might have found a nice video of it in action. And learned how the new(ish) technology works.
- sremick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Link to the actual article, not some lame blog. NO DIGG, reported bad link
- OsakaWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0See the video to get the effect. A car drives up behind the guy and you can see through him. Very cool.
http://projects.star.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/projects/MEDIA/xv/images/oc-okugai3.mpg - zwilliams, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It just oozes GitS.
- Matteos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can turn invisible when no one is looking at me.
- Jeppy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is the most ***** story yet on digg. How ***** fake........
NO DIGG! - l1wulf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This lame ass is just spamming his blog to digg. No dig for you!
- h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Link to real sites, not to blogs. This has been here before, reported as lame.
- BESTenemy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 Have you read the theory behind the cloak? It is a wearable projection screen which reflects more light back to the origin other than dispersing it in all directions. So, yes, the guy is standing in front of a projector. The problem is that the observer has to be standing close to the source of light to observe the effect clearly. Might now be able to see the guy wearing the cloak, but will definitely notice the projector capable of producing enough lumens to compete with daylight and all the cables to the power source, the computer and the imaging device.
The patent is not for the cloak so much as for the material that can be easily embedded into fabric instead of prismalite reflectors. - darkvad0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That russian website is so full of *****:

I think I made my point - DiscoLoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0....
- BIllyBobFett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0READ 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. - Pentarix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is so old, been on here at least twice before

Good catch. Article reported as spam. - Hyperion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember seeing something just like this on either TechTV, Newsweek, or Time (can't remember), and it was by some Japanese team. Can someone refresh my memory?
- LonesomePhreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like the cloak off of Ghost in The Shell
- Bromskloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh no, not another patent! I'd really appreciate if people would stop patenting their inventions.

- elimam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this technology had been invented by a Japanese professor in Tokyo university http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2777111.stm

***** everyone else, I got it!!!! lmao - Dreded, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Read the original article better people the original one is talking about something COMPLETELY different than the rest of the articles posted. if you read the one posted about the how stuff works website. its saying that retro-reflective material is common on such things as stop-signs etc. The original article is talking about using GOLD to project an image in front of something behind it last time I checked a stop sign is not made of gold. albeit the article says very little about what this actually is what you are all talking about is not what was posted.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0somethings seem wrong with the article.. i remember this jacket being made by a japanese guy.. and it is far from as cool as it looks.. but still will be great for camoflage.. even though looks ovious to usin broad daylight and on a street.. i can imagine in the woods or other fractile landscape it would be easy to blend in.
- digitaldivider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"you perform the backstab feat for +5 extra damage. you also critical for 10 extra damage. Smelly hobo dies of sheer amazement. you gain +5 experience. your 'cloak of invisibility short circuits. invisibility fades from you."
- kalisphoenix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not that anyone's listening, but I'll say it again: RTFA. This patent is completely different from what the picture in the blog shows, what is on howstuffworks.com, and what you find on freaking Google.
Okay?
RTFA.
The scientist talking about using colloidal gold film is not using a frigging projector on it, okay? Okay? - Neonlights, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Please tell me someone else saw this
"But soon it will be possible to create a cap of darkness and a magic cloak of Harry Potter, the scientist believes. " - The Raw Feed - MSDommell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0old, still reminds me of the "ghost in the shell" movie
- egraham23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0FYI: if you're an elf then this gives you near-perfect Hide in Shadows. Place you pre-orders now!
- googlyguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I saw a live demonstration of this at the Wired NextFest two years ago. It uses a camera behind the guy and projects the camera's input onto the jacket via projector. Although this sounds really cool, it's no Harry Potter magic... yet.

3" i was just going to say that. i saw some TV special about the japanese invisble cloak (though they didnt call it that). It has thousands or millions of micro cameras that capture the image on one side and project the image on the other. - itsjake88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/invisibility-cloak-system.gif this is realllly cheap. Its just like using a green screen.
- Anargeek77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OLD-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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - nathanstarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I dugg this just for some of the comments.
