ok, not quite but anyway... crazy

,

One step closer to Nod stealth tanks..

The only person who deserves cloaking technology is Frodo Baggins . . . and Doomguy of course.

I want invisable boots so I can act out morrowind glitches

That's pretty cool. Think of all the fun things you can do with an invisibility cloak. >:D

I imagine Voyeur pr0n would be even more popular than before. hahahha

Ninjas already had this 500 years ago. Unsatisfied with only that they then invented duplication technique.

DAMNIT JIM WE CAN'T LET THE ROMULANS GET THEIR HANDS ON IT

They didn't really "find" it, more they're trying to invent it.

The military has tried to do something similar using glass beads a while ago.

Harry Potter's cloak... what a dumb analogy, closer to MGS's stealth suit.

One issue is, if light is going around you then none is reaching your eyes... what's the point of being invisible if you're blind?

janderson, that's the deal. you can't be invisible and still do things. you could hide things though.

You paint the inviso-gel on your eyelids and shut your eyes when someone comes close enough to spot them (or use goggles for the same effect)? I'd be more worried about making noise, or people bumping into me. Also, there'd more likely be visible distortions all over your body (like those Star Trek ships right when they fade in/out of cloak mode).

Now, there are certainly some "deals" with this technology, such as not existing, but "that" is not it.

Is this some predator kind of deal, of some super invisibility where you can't see shit at all?

That depends on your definition of "is". In the real world or the fiction of marketing?

No, let's not be too ambitious; just this silly thread would be enough.

Quicksilver all the way baby
