OpticalCamouflage
Since about 2002, researchers have pursued handling light to provide "see through" capability of solid objects. Once a pointing vector is known from the viewing target to the viewer, a camera on the viewing target collects an image scene from "behind" the object and projects it from the view target to the viewer, or projects from a remote 3rd location onto the view target.http://science.howstuffworks.com/invisibility-cloak.htm
