007’s Gadgets • Glass shattering sonic ring • Standard laser watch • Astin Martin “Vanish” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uZRYO8BcL4
Invisibility Cloak in Real Life? • The Japanese have invented an “invisibility cloak” using the same optical camouflage idea • Cameras record image behind cloak and the image gets projected onto it, creating a see-through effect. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PD83dqSfC0Y
Problems: Real life vs. 007 • Can only work when viewed from one specific angle, whereas on the car there would be many angles one could look at • Requires large camera equipment • Not actually entirely see-through
