Similar Technology

Researching my idea to see if any other similar technology exists i found an article from www.theinquirer.net. It states that Tokyo University has developed clothing made from tiny pieces of glass that act as screen which allow video recorded footage to be projected onto the clothing. The footage is the background of where the user of the clothing is positioned. Although it says the technology is far from perfected its a step towards the actual technology being produced.

This is the link to the full article if you want to check it out.

Another link to info about the same technology as featured above...some images included as well

Image below is of the invisibility cloak as described above.



"Adaptive Fabrics"

"New inter-connection technologies using conductive fabrics allow sensors and processing devices to be networked together. This technology can produce fabrics that change color. The military is also interested in this chameleon-like technology to improve camouflage techniques."

- Taken from the fuellforall.org' not exactly invisibility but allows colour change to occur in clothing
