My thoughts exactly! Medical uses my ass...

The military will pay handsomely for this.. imagine invisible snipers, invisible combat troops uses nightvision goggles attacking an enemy... almost unstoppable.

Maybe the adaptive camoflauge feature in the Aston Martin in the latest Bond movie isnt so farfetched after all. ;)

Sweet. I heard about this elsewhere. Having watched the movie Predator I devised my own idea which would be to simply have an object covered in tiny screens and video cameras. Cameras on the back would project what they say to screens on the front and vice versa. Done with the right equipment you'd see an effect not unlike that seen on the Predator movie.
