If you allow maybe a few more hundredths to do the sampling and the
math and then the transmission, you're talking about complete color
changes in about 20/th of a second or less. IMHO this would be quite
perceptible to naked eye observers, especially in good lighting
conditions. I don't think it would be predator good, while moving, but
certainly almost invisible while stationary. Don't forget though, the
polymers can be damaged fairly easily if the armor is hit by weapons
fire.

Which is perfectly fine for my purposes.

'Nother question.

Given the preponderance of light body armour in SR, do you guys think
standard army uniforms are now armoured? I can easily see fatigues as
being of the "armoured cammo bodysuit" class from SR3 and Fields of
Fire, but what about day uniforms and dress uniforms? Armoured
clothing, or just standard clothes?
