INVISIBLE HOUSE
Think of how great it would be if you could just flick a switch and
your house would become invisible. Now you can! Avoid solicitors,
confuse unwanted guests, and never paint your house again. Be the first
on your block to have an invisible house. The principle is simple:

A matrix of large flat screen televisions, or monitors, covers the
front of the house. Each flat screen monitor is connected to a video
camera. Each camera is mounted on the rear interior wall of the house,
facing outward through a small opening. This forms the "video array" (
Refer to fig. 1a ).

Signals from the "video array" are sent to
the flat screen monitors. An image of the backyard is thus displayed on
the monitors, making the house invisible to anyone viewing it from the
front (refer to fig. 1b).

Fine tuning is the key to good
invisibility. Each monitor must have accurate color balance and
synchronization. As well, each camera must be color balanced,
synchronized, and aimed correctly.

Note:
People who live in invisible houses should not throw stones!

This is purely crazy!

I think that there will be inconsistencies in what there actually is behind and what is being projected on the flat screen TVs.

Btw there was an invisible suit or something like that based on the same theory..

i think to optimise the illusion due to the projection of the images the house should be box-like and not have the inclined roof. the inclined roof will distort the image scratch
