Well when they first came out with the TV screen on plastic technology (yet to be released) I figured it would be used in the military.

Imagine if those screens were all over the side of a tank, truck or even a battle ship. They could have cameras that film what ever is on one side of the object and then project it on the other site.

So from a distance it would give the transparent look from the movie "Predator". I know it sounds kinda far fetched but the US military is actually working on that kinda stuff.

I figure that's where this technology will end up in the future. Something like this could be used to camouflage not only tanks and other vehicles but also buildings from satellites and so on.
