    Not putting the idea down but isn't it the goal that others can see you is paramount?!!

    Always thought it would be cool if they could do that inside out. Solid bullet of a car outside, but inside it would be like your seat was flying through air with no blind spots.

    The effect is angle-dependent. If the camera is looking perpendicular to the vehicle, but you're looking at the vehicle from a different angle, the image and background won't line up. Still very cool, though!

    Now that would be cool! And to really freak people out - line the interior of an airlliner.

    I remember for years LCD manufacturer were struggling to get a wider viewing angle. Shouldn't it be possible to make arrays of narrow view angle elements?

    This would go a long way towards thermoptic camouflage for my tachikoma.
