Cloak of Invisibility

[--Pete]

Hi,

The cameras send a composited image of what is on one side of the cloth over to the other side to display on the LCDs, and vise versa. The whole effect is that basically you see through somebody.

Doesn't work. Consider a simple case: one person wearing that suit, a barren plane (think semi desert) with one tree, and two observers. One observer, the person wearing the suit, and the tree are in a direct line. The other person is a few degrees off this line. The observer on the direct line would get the desired effect, but the other observe would see two trees, the real one, and the one projected from the suit at a small angle. It's just a simple case of parallax, and the further from the background, the worse it gets.
