Abstract: An object uses light transmitters to control the visible image of the object in order to camouflage the object or to otherwise deceive the vision of observers. The color and intensity of the light emitted from the object is determined by its background, which would otherwise provide a contrast with the object when viewed by an observer. Light sensors uptake the color and intensity of the object's background and pass that information to controllers that determine the color and intensity of light to be transmitted to achieve the desired camouflage effect, and pass the output color to the light transmitters on the opposite side of the object. Transmitters may be placed on the object at right angles to the surface of the object, thereby allowing for only a single color shading at any point on the object, and providing effective camouflage for the object only when viewed straight-on or against a background that does not vary when viewed from oblique viewing angles.
