ran across this article quite by accident.

Very interesting. I would love to see something like this in action just to see how effective it is.

The answer is: no.

Yes, it is possible, but not the way they describe.

They're currently working on LCD's (already developed, perhaps I should say "making more feasible") that can be woven into fabric. With a combination of cameras on all sides, and a blanket woven out of this material, a fairly good cloaking device could be made.

The Dark Star UAV already uses a very primitive form of cloaking: a light sensor on top senses the ambient brightness of the sky and adjusts the brightness of lights along the bottom of the vehicle. Thus: no black outline of an aircraft in the sky.

It would appear Black, the lack of reflected light.

This is just great for those microscopic objects with a single wavelength of light hitting them that I want to hide.

It's not rape if they don't know my penis is there.
