given that many inventions come from military sources, I was wondering if any of you would know if this was another of those things?

what other applications could you think of for this? (other than telling someone what you *really* think of them as you walk away..)

yup it was a design by the army trying to create "adaptive cammo" camo that could change to match the surrounding enviorment but it didnt work out so the company lost it's bid and the project went off to the civ. market...

Intresting stuff tho

That's cool!

One application that I could think of would be for marking an area for search and rescue.

It could also be handy for hikers should they get lost, to have a jacket or maybe a blanket that could light up.

wonder if it workd under water?
