Japanese Scientist Creates Invisible Cloak

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A Japanese scientist has developed an advanced invisible cloak that utilizes active camouflage technology, allowing objects to appear translucent. This innovation includes a camera positioned behind the cloak, which functions similarly to a television screen, adapting the visual output to the surrounding environment. The discussion also references other types of invisibility cloaks, such as the Plasmonic Cover created in Pennsylvania, highlighting the diverse approaches to achieving invisibility.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of active camouflage technology
  • Familiarity with optical engineering principles
  • Knowledge of plasmonic materials and their applications
  • Basic concepts of visual perception and image processing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of active camouflage technology
  • Explore the applications of plasmonic materials in invisibility cloaks
  • Investigate advancements in optical engineering related to invisibility
  • Study the implications of invisibility technology in various fields
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in optical engineering, technology enthusiasts, and professionals in fields exploring advanced camouflage solutions will benefit from this discussion.

This was made by a scientist in japan.

And they improved it. (Go down to see new version)

^ include videos and other projects

In the second link, if you want to see the best invisibile cloak the scientist made in japan, go all the way down to the page.

The scientist made like a camera behind the cloak, which when turned on, making the cloak like a tv screen,adapting active camouflage.



Other types of invisible cloak:

Plasmonic Cover: renders objects invisible (made by people in Pensylvania)

There are more types of invisibility cloaks, search it up.

Those links are broken.
 
Dave, it's the same as saying that holding a closed circuit tv set in front of you makes you invisible, which is all that this person is doing, but wearing it.
 
As is explained at the links, this has more applications than does a non-tracking monitor. Standing behind a TV does not make one appear translucent, yet this technology does.
