    The easiest way to do this would be to have it actively filter out anything that is -not- the background. So, you take a video or picture of the background, and it uses that as a reference and the “stealthed” image of the guy is the result of the filter not working perfectly.

    If that is how he did this… then it is not camouflage because it would filter out everything.

    I watched to see if he ever picked up an object to show that he remained cloaked while the object was not… but he never did, nor did he disturb the background at all. That is what makes me think this was the easy, not-camouflage thing, but maybe he just didn’t think of holding an object.

    note: the reason why I am referring to it as “easy” is not because I think I could do it, it is because almost all webcams sold can do this…they just do the reverse which is to filter out the background and replace it with something else like an underwater image or something.
