the invention described herein represents a significant improvement for the concealment of objects and people . thousands of light receiving surfaces and sending surfaces are affixed to the surface of the object to be concealed . each receiving surface receives colored light from the background of the object . each receiving surface is positioned such that the trajectory of the light striking it is known . information describing the color and intensity of the light striking each receiving surface is collected and sent to a corresponding sending surface . said sending surface &# 39 ; s position corresponding to the known trajectory of the said light striking the receiving surface . light of the same color and intensity which was received on one side of the object is then sent on the same trajectory out a second side of the object . this process is repeated many times such that an observer looking at the object from any perspective actually sees the background of the object corresponding to the observer &# 39 ; s perspective . the object having been rendered “ invisible ” to the observer
