Ok so the idea has changed slightly as you've read from my previous post. Now I need to recognise the impact that this technology would have on society.
The main impact will be the ability to become invisible. This is going to present a number of factors:
1. Being invisible or camouflaged with anything that is projected could allow the user to do what ever they like and be virtually undetected. Posses good and bad points. i.e crime
2. Although the user knows they are invisible, others may not. This could be the cause of accidents etc
3. Easy ability to 'disappear' could pose problems due to the fact that users can virtually become non existent. Obviously not being a permanent transformation this isn't a huge concern but could effect certain people.
4. The change in personal appearance if used to enhance or project different features could allow the user to appear however they like. This could lead to the user becoming dependent on the technology for their personal appearance.
All the factors mentioned do seem to be quite negative but I thought I would point out the possible downsides to this technological idea.
