A few days ago CR6 posted news about a new book "Popular Science: 21st Century Soldier". While watching my local news the other night I saw what may turn into the ultimate in a "good offense" (otherwise known as a good defense). It's called "Optical Camoflage". You can't shoot what you can't see, right? While this technology is obviously at its birth, it could prove to be one of the "Ghosts" secret weapons in the near future.

Take a look at this video of this new technology in action!

Japanese scientist invents 'invisibility cloak'

A Japanese scientist has developed a coat which appears to make the wearer invisible.

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 [video] 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.
