Artists, he says, rely on our proneness to visual illusions arising out of the fact that all perception involves unconscious inference, as when a two-dimensional retinal image is translated into a three-dimensional perception.
Recently, researchers writing in Physical Review B suggested that arranging a number of tiny cloaks in a two-dimensional grid could be put to use in biomedicine and sensing, as well as traditional camouflage.
