Cloak of Invisibility

[Occhidiangela]

Its not a matter of the technology being new Doc.
If you pay attention what Pete said its that you would see that. Its the same issue as the guy who paints realistic images in side walks. It only works for 1 specific veiwing location.

That said it is nifty idea and should make for some nice camoflauge, sort of like Predator.

The military services have all spent some money, and some years, in perfecting digital camoflage utility uniforms. They don't make you invisible, but they are remarkably good at making you "low observable." No tricks needed, just some clever use of the visual spectrum and shading. The "digital" comes from the way the camo patterns are applied to the material. It looks a little bit like pixelated lines on a computer graphics drawing. If I remember the optical feature being used, the effect in most light conditions is to blend contrasts.

Batteries not included, nor required.

This cloaking device (yes, to Van, Romulan, you new winner of a +1 Mana ring! :D ) strikes me as being too dependent on the viewer cooperating, as was previously pointed out. For satellite defense against ground observation/targeting faciilties, it might have some utility. Don't know enough, and I suspect what they are working with is a bit raw at this point.
