you are right, the greater the angle the less the camo effect, the LCD screen has a 24 inch rod extending out from behind it with the camara video pick-up attatched to it,

I have also tried using a recording looped and got a good camo effect, however as lighting changes the camo would not, iving away effect.

No..... NO..... it did not!

there a cheaper version of this

just hide in the bushes

[McElmore]

the guy puts his hand between a camera and the screen. nothing to do with mirrors BUT when you look at it from ANY other angle the image won't change which will definetly bust the trick. Basicly that's the only downside and problem in this kind of camouflage, so it can be used when looking anle is already known and  the observer isn't too close or has no motivation to suspect any trick being used against him. Again closer look and more concentrated observing will bust it.

dude, now you just need to use a flexible autostereoscopic 3d screen, and from ANY angle people wont be able to see you, and sense its flexible... well it will just be cooler~!

Exactly.

Precisely. If you pay attention to the video, the leaves seen through the 'cloaking device' aren't moving (or are moving slower/less than those in the bushes behind him). And JToobz has it right on the head, steps 1-3 w/ chroma key software (many free versions now)

[JToobz]

Step 1: Film the tree.

Step 2: Film yourself in front of the tree holding a colored object.

Step 3: "Key" that color out of the second video and lay the first video under it.

Extreeeeeemely easy. But, clever to have blue clothes and a green tree to throw off viewers who'd suspect blue or green screening.

I think it might be a mirror

Cool! How long did it take to make?

u can see the lcd panel and what looks like some sort of batter pack to power it.. so u have the camera facing the bush.. and the lcd facing u.. u put about 6 inch or so between the 2 item.. and boom.. u have a cloak.. kinda like hooking a camcorder to a tv.. u see what the camcorder see.. since the camera is behind the lcd and u only see what the lcd shows.. which is what the camcorder see.. u see the bush.. hope that helps..

Kid you're 15, you dont know anything on the subject matter. "real cloaking devices are permanent and dont require power" Kid what crack are you smoking. First off there is no "real cloaking devices" atleast not even close to what you see in movies or tv. Secondly all optical camo setup's require Current ether to power the projectors , OLED's, LCD's aswell as the Integrated circuit's. Please go take a course in basic electrical engineering and physics 101(start with Thermal dynamics). kthxbye

First, fix your spelling.

Secondly, real cloaskign devices are permanent, and do not require power supplies.

Meaning YOU, sir, are full of shit.

Don't try to talk about things you don't understand if you can't even spell them right.
