Basically they have this material that you can wear that makes you see through.

I was blown away by this. It can't be real, but if it is, it's gonna have the predator beat when its perfected. Load the MPEGS, it's a trip.

What you are seeing is fake, but it is being developed.

I was watching the Discovery Channel and seena show on some new Camo they are developing.

Basically it looks like you are wearing a suite with small 1 inch reflective disks covering the entire suit.

The idea behind it is this:

Its take what the rear reflectors see and copies the image to the front disks.... the front disks take what they see and place them on the back disks... and the side disk do the same.... etc.. etc...

Very freaky technology if they pull it off....

Now mind you this is 'camo' not 'invisible'... if the dude was wearing this suit in the middle of new york city he would look 'wierd' and 'obvious'...

But stick this same dude in the woods.... look out...

Can anyone say, "Paintballing?"

Although if you got shot in some crossfire...the floating glob of paint might give your position away...but the object is don't get hit!
