[citation][nom]dfusco[/nom]Hmmm, how about having cameras project what's inside the dress on the outside of the dress[/citation]

Please, no. What if it was on an ug... err... not-so-good-looking-figured ones?
 
The biggest problem they will have is contrast. No screen or pigmentation is able to get to the level of darkness that shadows produce. In addition to that, they will need at least 5 cameras from each angle they want to project just to get a kind of close contrast level. Immagine looking down a street and seeing a "silhouette" of a person that has rough edges and doesn't really fit with the colors around it. It may sort of work but will not be able to work really well.

Actually another possible problem I just thought of is focus. The person or object that is being hidden may be in focus at some distances but will not likely be focused at others.

[citation][nom]gm0n3y[/nom]So if we can have clothes that display what is behind them, could we have say an HD movie playing on your pants/shirt?[/citation]
Would present some interesting moment. A chick with D cups and massive cleavage walks up with this dress on. She has Iron Man 2 playing and Scarlett Johannsson is currently on the shirt. What do you look at first? lol or maybe you get confused and just stand there drooling with a boner?
 
Should be compulsory for guys to wear trousers that go transparent in nightclubs so the girls don't get deceived by the fakers that pack all manner of vegetation down their pants in order to impress!

You do realize that you'd be able to see all of their 'packages' right? I mean that's cool if you're into that, I'm just not sure you thought that one all the way through.
 
becuase of the cameras and projection required I doubt it will practical. Perhaps they should work on bending light. That appears to be more promising.
 
Can't be good. I could just be zoned and looking blankly at nothing, and out of nowhere I'll get slapped, followed by the sound of some girl yelling "STOP LOOKING AT MY TI... oh, wait, I'm invisible. Nevermind."
 
[citation][nom]teodoreh[/nom]Take 16 LCD panels, 16 cameras and a PC with some decent VGA, You can have passable results! Hey, I've found a usage for ATi multi-output VGAs! ps. Wearing an ATI 5xxxx VGA. The 'He's hot' phrase will have a brand new meaning!!![/citation]
