The Invention - This system is designed to conceal an object from view
by placing a thin video screen between the observer and the object
being concealed and at the same time presenting a full color image of
the background on the screen for view by the observer, thus creating
the illusion that the object is not there. This system was conceived
with the primary view in mind of concealing stationary or moving
objects such as men, vehicles, or aircraft from view and has practical
military, law enforcement, and security applications. Utilization of
this technology also has two important secondary energy saving
by-products:
(1) as a security instrument it can protect national strategic
resources from theft and sabotage by concealing both the resource and a
much reduced security force from view by either presenting the natural
background on the screen or by presenting an artificial image of the
resource on the screen, both of which would divert potential thieves or
saboteurs from pursuing aggressive actions at a significantly lower
cost than by using massive security measures; and
(2) its variable reflective capability could assist in heating or
cooling the facility, thus realizing considerable energy savings.
