now i've been researching inviibility materials (as i love the idea) and just a moment ago i was messing with my fiber optic toy my sister has. i realized that light bends with it so i looked into it. and i was thinking, if you could make some kind of cylinder of tightly wound fiber optic cables, couldn't that theoretically bend light around you and into the space behind you enough to create active camouflage? (or optical camouflage) i would like some people to tell me (if so) why i'm wrng so i don't get too excited about it or if people want to support me that would be great too.
If you could place enough light conductors on your body to bend all incoming light around you into the background, it wouldn't camo you. Unless you could transmit light reflected from your background back to the viewer, you would show up as a hole in the scenery. A black spot.
There are experiments going on in the Army and elswhere using tiny cameras and LEDs to project what is behind you from your front side. The cameras & LEDs would be imbedded in the fabric of your clothes.
