The invention described herein represents a significant improvement for
the concealment of objects and people. Thousands of light receiving
segmented pixels and sending segmented pixels are affixed to the surface
of the object to be concealed. Each receiving segmented pixel receives
colored light from the background of the object. Each receiving segmented
pixel has a lens such that the light incident upon it is segmented to
form focal points along a focal curve (or plane) according to the light's
incident trajectory. In a first embodiment, this incident light is
channeled by fiber optics to the side of the object which is opposite to
each respective incident light segment. The light which was incident on a
first side of the object traveling at a series of respective trajectories
is thus redirected and exits on at least one second side of the object
according to its original incident trajectory. In this manor, incident
light is redirected as exiting light that mimics the incident light's
trajectory, wavelength, color, and intensity such that an observer can
"see through" the object to the object's background. In a second
embodiment, this incident light is segmented according to trajectory, and
detected electronically by photo diodes. It is then electronically
reproduced on at least one second side of the object by arrayed LEDs. In
this manor, incident light is reproduced as exiting light which mimics
trajectory, wavelength, color, and intensity such that an observer can
"see through" the object to the background. In both embodiments, this
process is repeated many times, in segmented pixel arrays, such that an
observer looking at the object from any perspective actually "sees the
background" of the object corresponding to the observer's perspective.
The object having thus been rendered "invisible" to the observer.
