The thing that pisses me off is that I came up with this about 4 years ago, and even drew up plans for it. I couldn't figure out how to make it overall camo without it being pixelated, or complete camo on one side only. I didn't see any real defense use for it, because it would be too klunky or easily damaged for field deployment, and wouldn't be worth the cost of trying to affix it to aircraft. Especially when it's optical only, and not going to help with the heat or radar signature. Plus, I though the theory was so obvious that somebody had probably already played with it and rejected it. Cameras view the picture behind you, and then distribute it to banks of red/green/blue LEDs covering the other side, forming a mosaic of the image.

"Cameras view the picture behind you, and then distribute it to banks of red/green/blue LEDs covering the other side, forming a mosaic of the image."

The only problem is that the image would have to "know" from what angle the viewer will be looking - For two observers, one five feet to the left of center and one five feet to the right, the same pixel would have to be from a different image.

THAT has been part of Sci-Fi Camoflage for years.
