Thermal Camouflage Jacket , Bilbo Baggins from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ; Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

It's the first computer-programmable jacket which has 42 graphene patches that, like pixels on screen, can be controlled individually.The patches, Vollebak noted, can be coded to emit a different level of thermal radiation, letting it blend into surroundings and appear invisible to infrared cameras. Vollebak itself also acknowledged two"interconnected problems" that makes outright invisibility impossible in real life.First, the current technology isn't enough to hide humans on the visible spectrum. Vollebak said they must also be hidden on the infrared spectrum, which is tricky since they're really bright on infrared cameras, radiating about 200 watts.
