Apparently they can apply the cloak in 3D (as opposed to 2D shown here) + in optical wavelengths,

Thanks very much for this downright post;this is the words that keeps me going through the day. I’ve been searching around for this site after I heard about them from a colleague and was thrilled when I found it after searching for long time. Being a avid blogger, I’m blessed to see others taking initivative and contributing to the community. Just wanted to comment to show my support for your page as it is very interesting, and many bloggers do not get appreciation they deserve. I am sure I’ll be back and will send some of my friends.

Yeah, if that trailer were for a movie, it would be a blockbuster. The dialogue was cliche, but man, it *looks* so good!

Not sure when my copy is arriving… but probably in the next few days at least.

An interesting thing about the way octopuses and squid achieve their camouflage is that, I’m pretty sure, they have cells full of dye that they can expand and contract at will to make them visible or not. They are essentially covered with pixels in a few colors. This is exactly the way an e-ink display works!

I think my favorite thing about all these “cloaking” technologies is that, if you think about it, when in use they would produce pretty much the same distortion effects that we see in video games. Science imitating art imitating life, huh?
