        I want to know what material that coat is made of.
        \_ the coat has very little to do with the optical effect.
           the shiny material just helps the illusion.
           \_ Oooooo....Shiny.

The coat which appears to make the wearer invisible /AP The illusion was part of a demonstration of optical camouflage technology at Tokyo University. It is the brainchild of Professor Susumu Tachi who is in the early stage of research he hopes will eventually make camouflaged objects virtually transparent. The photograph was taken through a viewfinder that uses a combination of moving images taken behind the wearer to give a transparent effect. It's hoped the technology will be useful for surgeons frustrated their own hands and surgical tools can block their view of operations and pilots who wish cockpit floors were transparent for landings.

You can select camouflaged object to cover with retroreflector. Moreover, to project a stereoscopic image, the observer looks at the masking object more transparent. In the case of a real scene, a photograph of the scene is taken from the operatorfs viewpoint, and this photograph is projected to exactly the same place as the original. HMP-based optical camouflage to a real scene requires image-based rendering techniques. If you want to know the mechanism of this optical camouflage demonstration, please see the following brochure: * M.
