New Technology - Optical Camouflage - Invisible Man

I had given presentation on optical camouflage and people really amazed to see this technology which make you invisible possible!

Introduction: - It is active camouflages in which a person's background image will be reflect on the front of its body portion make invisible in eyes of other.

A movie like Harry Potter and many sci-fi upcoming movies uses this technology to real world with concept of invisibility cloak a reality.

Invisibility cloak(cloth) - cloak imparts optical camouflage to work by using a special material called retro-reflective material.

Retro-reflective consists of thousands and thousands of small beads which reflect light back to same direction from where these light rays are coming making zero angle of reflection.

Basically it works on augmented-reality technology, which is not magic uses computer generated information to know users sensory perceptions.

What we need - A computer, a garment made from retro-reflective material, a video camera, a projector, half silvered mirror called combiner.

Working - Video camera captures the background image, which is placed behind the person who wearing cloak. That video is in the digital form and sends to the computer for processing. Now computer process this image by having hardware, software and combiner to get optical camouflage work by calculating appropriate perspective to provide reality and transfer the captured or processed image to the retro-refractive material.

History- at University of Tokyo professors Susumu Tachi, Masahiko Inami, Naoki Kawakami had discover this technology in which they had taken image using video camera and displayed it on the cloth is using external projector.

So this is the coolest invention of year 2003, which is stated by Times Magazine. Used by Pilots during landing, Bus and car drivers, Doctors while at operation. Research will be going on in this technology and in the future we will get more amazing and astonishing values from it.
