Abstract :
The nature has a beautiful source of inspiration for reaching invisibility. Jellyfish are well-known sea creatures that are transparent and look transparent so that they are almost invisible in seawater. Consider flat fishes such as winter flounders that hide themselves from predators by adapting their skin pigments according to the background environment, cells, located in the dermis and epidermis. Camouflage is a must value to survive in a world populated by predators. The feasibility of this transparency principle by rendering background images, using off-the-shelf, low-latency cameras and display commonly found in computer graphics and vision laboratories. So there is a need of development of Pseudo layer, this paper explain how can be object masked by using Pseudo Layer. In this case layer must be consists of retro-reflective material or layer should be able to reflect incident light in the same direction of the incident light.
