In the book Farewell Horizontal, the clan soldiers wear armor that changes based on the video feed that it's receiving. I imagine that it would be possible to make either clothing, or the skin of a vehicle, project whatever is behind you, so that you appear invisible to those behind you. They had that in a series of books from Dean Ing (Butcher Bird, The Ransom of Black Stealth One).

Alternately, you could replace the panel on your backpack that goes against your back with a screen. This would allow you to play videos that you've stored on your PAN, play DVDs via bluetooth, serve as an alternate screen for your laptop, display maps and GPS information, with a built in RF tag reader it could tell you that the contents of your bag without opening it.

Now that GPRS is being rolled out, you could use that to see the video feed that your phone is giving your from a friend, who in turn could be sending the data their phone (over long distances) or to see shared data (via Bluetooth or 802.11) over medium to short ones.

If the panel is removable, you can then use it while you are walking as well, so that you have a map of your area. Combined it with the Keyhole software (that updates in real time) and a GPS system and never, ever get lost again.
