holy crap, that's fake! I seen this like a month ago at another forum, and it said at the bottom of the page it was fake.

HUZZAH!

Its CNN, how is that fake? Besides if you actually read the article is says that there is a camera that takes a picture of what is behind him and a small projector, all on the inside of the coat, shows it on the front. The catch is that the projection doesn't show on the coat unless you look through a certain lense. This could be because of reflection purposes. If you go to CNN you can find the article if you think the link is a hoax.

BTW, it was just posted today at CNN so wherever you saw it at probably wasnt a real news site.

Meh, I still think it is a hoax. I seen this at another site that was strictly made for joke news. That's a shame though...a news article that was meant for a joke came true?

The possibility is very real, so I don't see why it's such a problem of acceptance. It would probably be harder to make that reflection without blending two images to make a composite than to actually create a projector that makes an invisible coat.

Maybe so, but I question why any of us would need that jacket. If we're going to be invisible, at least have the jacket be clear and not green hued....

plus the head is clearly visible...as well as anything not covered...so that rules out walking around when your opponent has night vision

get it? green hue?
