How Cool Is This!

Okay, is this every little boy's dream vehicle, or what? The U.K. Daily Mail reports on a new technology that turns a tank essentially invisible. The Brits developed it using a set of cameras and projectors that 'beams' the landscape behind the tank onto the tank itself, effectively rendering the tank invisible. Here's a picture of how it 'should' look:


Sounds like there are still some kinks to work out with the reliability of the system, but they expect it to be ready for service in 2012.

Of course, every kid imagines this sort of thing when they're little, but to actually see it happen is pretty amazing!

There's my two cents.
