I think it's worth nothing that traditional camouflage aims to break up the transition between the object and the background so the outline of the object cannot be properly seen and therefore the object cannot be picked out from the background.
Dazzle works not to prevent detection of the shape/outline but to prevent any further information from being discerned (e.g. heading, precise shape and distance).
Depending on the kind of system you're trying to fool the former approach may be far easier.
I once saw a woman wearing black and white patterned leggings that perfectly replicated the intended effect of dazzle. I think that with clothing that isn't skin tight and therefore does not perfectly match the shape of one's body it would be even easier to pull off.
- bunderbunder 8y agoI'm reminded a bit of O'ahu tree snails: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oʻahu_tree_snail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oʻahu_tree_snail They have brightly patterned shells, and each one is different. One hypothesis for why this is is that it deprives the birds that eat them of a consistent pattern to look for.
