Now you see him ... Japan's invisible man

TOKYO, Japan (AP) --Is he the Invisible Man?

It looks like as if three men walking behind are seen through the body of graduate student Kazutoshi Obana during a demonstration of optical camouflage technology at Tokyo University on Wednesday.

The demonstration conducted by Professor of Engineering Susumu Tachi is an early stage of his research that he hopes will eventually render camouflaged objects virtually transparent by wearing an optical device.

The photo was taken through a viewfinder that combines moving images from behind and in front of Obana, who was wearing a luminous jacket to create the transparent effect.

The technology could prove useful for various professions.

Surgeons could use it to see through their own fingers and surgical tools during operations.

Another use could be in aviation where pilots could make cockpit floors transparent.

However as much as we would like to become invisible we just can't.The call of Christ is a call to be 'light' and that means we must be seen in the culture around us. It is...in other words...a call to be visible!

Are you visible in the culture around you? If not, then you are not living up to the potential that God has placed within you!
