Invisibility cloak. Would this be useful in applications other than art?

This artist has made a career out of making himself invisible. Would you use a technique such as this for yourself or your troops?

It's fun, but we have to actually get into the "science" of camouflage if we're talking about Troops.
Did you you know that cats actually don't have "sharp" vision. It's actually quite blurry and they can't see Red at all. Deer see Ultraviolet. (Most) Humans have a hard time seeing Indigo.
If you look at the MARPAT, you can see how effective that pattern is. But look at Tigers, and the areas they are located. Why are they Orange? And Striped? Basically it's about figuring out how the human eye breaks up patterns on common backgrounds.

CPT (Join to see) Sweet, this is useful, in my opinion it promotes discipline and situational awareness. You need these tools to survive on the battlefield. I think this would be good for the TBI clinic for memory loss and occupational therapy.
