The Invisibility Cloak
The cloak that enables optical camouflage to work is made from a special material known as
Augmented Reality :
Augmented reality merely tries to supplement real world with additional, helpful content.
Video Camera :
Capturing the background image requires a video camera, which sits behind the person wearing the cloak. The video from the camera must be in a digital format so it can be sent to a computer for processing
Computer :
All augmented-reality systems rely on powerful computers to synthesize graphics and then superimpose them on a real-world image.
Combiner
A special mirror to both reflect the projected image toward the cloak and to let light rays bouncing off the cloak return to the user's eye. This special mirror is called a beam splitter, or a combiner.
Real World Applications
Doctors performing surgery could use optical camouflage to see through their hands and instruments to the underlying tissue.
Conclusion :
Although this is having some disadvantages, Optical Camouflage is a nice technology. However further developments are being going on. I believe this is going to change the entire world.
