"Invisible Mercedes: Scientists use LEDs and a camera to create an 'invisible' car"
As I've said before, all things that WERE science fiction, seem to become real...
Hannah Roberts reports on it in the U.K. Daily Mail, including really neat pictures:
"But scientists have now figured out how to make an entire car disappear.
Using optical camouflage technology boffins at Mercedes Benz created the illusion that their new zero emissions F-Cell car is not even there at all.
Taking the principal that to see through something you need to see what's behind it, they covered the driver's side of the car in mats of LEDs, and mounted a digital SLR camera on the opposite side of the vehicle."
