What If Humans Could Camouflage Like Chameleons?

What if humans had the same camouflage ability as chameleons? Can
we make suits that can shift colors and patterns and allow humans
to blend in with any surface? How can we build materials that
controllably change color in real time? Actually, I believe that
all of these are possible...not with future technology, but with
our current technology.
