The human body is made up of identifiable lines and obvious symmetry that is easily recognized by deer and other prey. By interrupting those lines and the body’s symmetry with a macro-pattern of light and dark blobs and streaks mathematically configured in ratios to match those found in the natural world, immediate identification is disrupted. Additionally, since fine texture defines our world, a fractal geometry based micropattern is overlaid on the macro-pattern.

Traditional camouflage relies upon mimicry. But the reality is that even the highest definition mimicry patterns tend to block up into a recognizable mass of gray at standard engagement ranges. This effect is called isoluminance and is why the sticks, limbs and leaves on a bush that are discernible at 20 yards, become blocks of color at greater distance.

We know that ungulate eye placement is designed for an extremely wide field of view – nearly 280° – in order to quickly scan the horizon for potential threats. The trade-off for such a wide view of the world is diminished visual acuity. Using our standard of measurement, where we see 20/20, an ungulate sees around 20/40. Additionally, while humans have trichromatic vision – receptors providing us with our full range of color vision – ungulates are dichromats. Lacking the receptors for tones in the red spectrum, they view the world in shades of yellow, blue and gray.
