Kewl! The Japanese have invented an invisibility cloak - admittedly it's all a bit 2-d and relies on the watcher being at exactly the right angle to the thing they're not seeing, but terribly, terribly kewl anyway

very cool! i could use one of those for sneaking out of the house to go to Dairy Queen.

Wow. Forget military purposes. Think of the money they could get using it as a toy in the Harry Potter market. It would probably be on every kid's birthday/Christmas/Hanukkah/present list. Military weapon? Or really cool toy? Only time will tell.

I think it was intended for peaceful prposes too....this is a Japanese invention after all

Hmmm...I think it's to hide their giant mechas so that it will be easier for them to take over the world! Er...or not...

I think it's so they can have really cool mobile phones that don't hide people's fancy earrings and hairdos. People'd look pretty odd with invisible mobile phones though... all walking about with their hands stuck by the sides of their heads and talking to themselves. Or texting, all those little thumb movements would be really bizarre.

not any worse than what already goes on!

There are certainly times I think it would come in very useful. That person you want to avoid, the quick job you need to do but know if you are seen it will turn into even more to do. Just to have a nice quiet day in hiding im sure people and think up other ideas
