WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: February 05, 2003 Optical Camouflage -- "The demonstration conducted by Faculty of Engineering Prof. Susumu Tachi is an early stage of his research that will eventually enable camouflaged objects virtually transparent by wearing an optical device." (Comments: Some people were incredulous that James Bond drove an invisible car in Die Another Day. It seemed so stupid. Does it seem so stupid now? Pow!)
Reader Comments...
That is very cool. The primary thing I found unbelievable about the car in the Bond film, though, was not that other people couldn't see the car, but that Bond, inside the car, could see out. This technology wouldn't address that problem at all.
The stupid thing is that two people looking at the car from different angles should see through to a different scene, and the Bond technology doesn't answer that. Each point on the surface would need to represent an infinite number of possible values simultaneously. Posted by: Eric Scheid on February 6, 2003 11:17 PM
