Ever wanted to wrap yourself in a magical cloak and become invisible just like Harry Potter? Well, if you live in Japan then just go along to the University of Tokyo and ask Professor Susumu Tachi if you can borrow his optical camouflage jacket. It uses a camera on the back to display an image of whatever it sees on the front of the jacket, rendered with tiny reflectors. The effect makes the wearer appear transparent (sort of, if you're looking from the right direction).
Alternatively you can do what I did and move to London — people here look right through you whatever you're wearing. ;-)
