Two University of Tokyo researchers are building technologies inspired by the anime classic Ghost in the Shell. Professor Masahiko Inami has developed "optical camouflage," a cloak of retroreflective material that appears to vanish when a projector displays the background onto it. He has also created the "Jizai Arms," wearable robotic extra limbs, work being shared widely among robotics enthusiasts.
