Invisibility cloak
Found this via /.

The University of Tokyo has developed the illusion of invisibility, under the name of 'Optical Camouflage.' The system is remarkably simple - you have a mix of light-sensitive and light-emitting devices attached to an adapted reflective surface. The devices are hooked to a computer, which simply projects on each side whatever is on the opposite side. The result is more of a translucent look, than real invisibility, but the potential is there. The inventer's next objective is to make walls that are invisible, using the same technology. Project a real outside image onto an interior wall without windows. This almost sounds more frightening than the cloak, since there's no reason why the sensors would have to be placed outside. Imagine a world where PHBs can turn their office wall into a window onto any cube. Zero privacy. The technology is great, but the potential for abuse is definitely there.

i had this idea when i was in s-g physics learning about fibre optics, i thought you could somehow have clothes that had optical fibres going from one side to the other and going around your body, my teacher told me it was a stupid idea cos it'd have to be far to big and heavy for that. Seems they've found away around it

That's cool as fuck though!

Why would you want invisible walls? I'm sure they could put the money into something more useful...

there main idea behind the walls was for piolets so they can see through the cockpit to the ground to help with landing. That would be cool but scary as fuck!

fremlin is an unknown quantity at this point
I read an article in the paper about this. It said that the Americans were going to buy the idea from a Japanese inventor to use for their tanks. Now how scary would that be?
