How cool is that?

The photograph was taken through a viewfinder that uses a combination of moving images taken behind the wearer to give a transparent effect.

Wait.. so did he make actually make it or is that just a photograph of what he hopes it will look like?

[Weltall]

I believe that is a concept photograph, not the real invisibility suit.

[OB1]

So it hasn't been made yet, right?

So far, it's about as real as our own government's conceptual designs for the same kind of suit. The idea is to use a complicated web of fibre optic cables to transfer all the light hitting one side to the other, where it's let go in about the same area, OR (here's the other one on the show I saw) to use a sort of memory material that works a lot like a photograph and those little toys in the cereal you used to get that would glow in the dark after you stored a bunch of light in them by holding them by a light bulb. You get the idea there.

Anyway, this is just the latest article regarding yet another guy working on such a project. Until they manage to get so invisible a bumper guardian doesn't see them and they grab a piece of heart, it's just a passing fancy.

Alright, Dr. Dreamcrusher.

And who the hell is that kid in your sig, Welly? Is that a joke?

[OB1]

You mean that's real??

[Private Hudson]

Oh man...

That site is fucking hilarious...

[WhiteFleck]

I wonder if he's wearing shoes in that picture...

[geoboy]

His massive weight is burrowing his feet into the sand, so we may never know...

[Weltall]

That's my favorite. God he's sexy. In a '15 year old boy looking like a 30 year old 400 pound lesbian' way.

[Private Hudson]

No!

The beach picture is the funniest. WTF IS HE DOING IN THE WATER POSING LIKE A BADASS FOR!?!? GAHAHAHAHAHA



Although the more I look at it, the more I think it's fake.

[OB1]

It has to be fake. It just has to.

[Dark Jaguar]

....You actually thought it was real? Oh, well I guess it's hard to find any image altering, mainly because it's not even needed to fake the pick when you can dig holes in the sand with your own two hands :D.

[OB1]

Hahahaha! Ack!! *chokes*

Good LORD did you hear the mp3 sample at that site???!!!

I'm not sure if this is fake. It's too elaborate.

Six and a half years later, the fancy is now much closer to reality:
