Optical camouflage

see_thru_jacketNeed to sneak out of work early and don't want the boss or co-workers to nail you? Out too late with your buds and don't want the spouse to know when you came in? You need Optical Camouflage, a unique project in Japan that projects background images onto a masked object which makes it appear to be transparent. It's uncanny how this simple technique makes it appear you can see right through an object but it has a lot to do with the way our brain perceives viewed objects.

Or sneak home very late without the spouse spotting you. :-)
