yeah...I would like to know how digital camo works too and what are the advantages?
The theory is that large blotches of color with sharp outlines are easier to see, while "blurring" the edges of the colored patches makes the outlines, and thus the objects, harder to discern.
Take this for example: Upload.wikimedia.org
Zoom in, and you will see the outlines are blurred
Practically, this is nothing hi-tech, the better name would've been pixelated camoflage. It's just to confuse the eye. Imagine the digital pattern compared to woodland one in forest or something. Woodland camo's outlines are distinct, and once the wearer moves his position,you'll probably notice him, while pixelated one would probably be harder to discern.
