"Good Morning America" reports a Canadian company has developed camouflage fabric that bends light waves around the person wearing it. Not too surprisingly, the technology is being kept top secret. WRGT reports the technology can even fool night-vision goggles. The camo doesn't need cameras, batteries, lights, or mirror Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26978680 [link to www.aol.com] Not too surprisingly the technology is being kept top secret? Wut? Then why is there a fucking news report on it? Not very secret. I am a son of Earth and starry sky. I am parched with thirst and am dying; but quickly grant me cold water from the Lake of Memory to drink. |

This is not based on guiding light around the curvature of the body, but on carbon fiber that receives energy and emits corresponding photons. That is why this one works against night vision goggles and the other does not. |

Quoting: T Ceti H.C.Radnarg 27089841 It does not work against hight vision because there is a shadowing effect due to slightly less light going in a particular direction with the fiber channels in place. The channels are large compared to the photons, so there will be a lot of places the light will not get past. A dimming of just 3 db is detectable. |
