Invisible Vehicle

Invisible Vehicle

Everyone from Harry Potter to Frodo Baggins has already got an invisibility cloak.
But scientists have now figured out how to make an entire car disappear.
Using optical camouflage technology boffins at Mercedes Benz created the illusion that their new zero emissions F-Cell car is not even there at all. taking the principal that to see through something you need to see what's behind it, they covered the driver's side of the car in mats of LEDs, and mounted a digital SLR camera on the opposite side of the vehicle.

The camera shoots video on the passenger side of the car and the video is displayed in real time on the driver side of the automobile.
This ingenious approach, originally pioneered by scientists at the University of Tokyo, works on the same principles of the blue screen used by TV weather forecasters and Hollywood filmmakers.
The idea also mimics the iPad 2 Halloween costume that seems to displays a gaping hole in the human body.
The next conundrum-what to do with an invisible car ? Take it on a week long tour of Germany, obviously.

The top technologies with the biggest promise for 2017

The top technologies with the biggest promise for 2017 1) A new era in diabetes care In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the world’s first artificial pancreas . The device monitors blood sugar and supplies insulin automatically. It basically replicates what a healthy version of the organ does on its own; and it enables diabetes patients to live an easier life in a sustainable way. It is the biggest step towards a new are in diabetes management in years The breakthrough happened years after the #wearenotwaiting movement started to campaign for the introduction of such artificial pancreas on the market. One of the leading figures of the movement,  Dana Lewis also told me how an artificial pancreas eases everyday life . In 2017, this new way of diabetes management will spread around; and it will become a life-changing milestone in many patients’ lives when they first start to use the device. The development of diabetes care does not end there. Google ...
