Invisible Cloaks in Action - Video Demonstrations
Invisible cloak technology has been in the news quite a bit recently and over the past few months numerous videos demonstrating this amazing technology have surfaced on the web. Below are three of these videos demonstrating the first of two different techniques various inventors and companies are using to achieve this effect once thought of as "magic" and impossible. The first method involves using a camera behind the cloak which projects the video onto the front of it, sort of like a wearable projector screen. The second technique uses nanotechnology to bend light behind the cloak in essence enabling the cloak to become invisible or see through. Below are links to the videos.. Via mightyillusions
I’m sure the military is also developing this technology or funding the companies who are, imaging the amount of lives this technology could save on the battlefield.
I think technology is great…ahh the invisible man!
[…] This is true and not something out of the Harry Potter books, the invisibility cloak is uses methods that involve using a camera behind the cloak which projects the video onto the front of it, sort of like a wearable projector screen. The second technique uses nanotechnology to bend light behind the cloak in essence enabling the cloak to become invisible or see through.

Video 3, his face should be seen on the ball and box, not the words *behind his head* Nice try.
I think video 3 uses the projection technique, and the camera is behind him.
This news is just about 6 years old.
thought you’d want to know.
The 2nd video seems to be the most impressive
This is well done, but I’ve personally done this with a green screen before, so I recognized it.
The presentation was great though.
So how do these cloaks know not to show whats behind them, but rather whats behind the people holding them? How do they discriminate between a head and a wall? How do they even see the wall with a head in the way? In one vid it can see people but in the others the people holding it are invisible? Looks impressive but obviously a hoax.

Holy Shatner!!! This is crazy! I wants one! [yeah, me and every other person posting here.] X3
Pce- kiki
Interesting technology, a small step towards real cloaking devices I guess.
Still, I´am not sure if this will be used on battlefields that much, maybe for snipers or observers but not for the normal soldier.
Nice stuff. I don’t even see why people care wether its a hoax or not: accept it like it is because if it does turn out to be real (which it most certainly is) then you are going to look like an idiot for trying to find ways to “prove” its a hoax or false.
Oh well, I guess ignorance is bliss.
yeah.. its kinda cool.. but it only works from a very limited perspective… if you’re slightly off axis, then its useless…
!!!===> You can’t be serious! Nobody really believes this stunt, do they?!??! It’s called “green screen projection”, and it’s how they do video special effects in movies. They super-impose two videos, and the color of the “invisibility cloak” is more susceptible to showing the super-imposed image than the face of the guy wearing it. It’s how they can look out a window in “Star Wars” and “see” spaceships that aren’t there. It’s only visible in the video, not in real life. (Speaking of real life, it’s what people who think the military will want this “invention” should get.)
On the third vid, if it was true, we should see the hand that holds the ball… nice try dude !
Similar technologies are being developed but these are fakes. Note seeing the text behind the man’s head instead of his face.
so the first reply is about usung it battle. hooray. we’re all idiots
Hmm, he appears to be wearing a normal raincoat… ooh advanced…
The hands in the second one are a dead giveaway, it’s definatley fake.
The ‘projection’ method wouldn’t work, in the future maybe this technology would be possible, but alas not now…
The world is now going into nanotechnology. I would fancy seeing more of such research and development into these types of area. This invisible cloak reminds me of James Bond’s invisible car.
아따 머라카는겨~
i’ve personally seem this type of things demonstrated in person. it’s certainly not a hoax, just a clever thing. i saw the projection type, not the nanotech stuff (although i’d love to see that). it was really neat and it probably could be useful to the military in many ways, ultimate camo.
Can you get cancel from that?
Wow o_o Not perfected yet but still… holy crap. In low-light situations it’d be excellent. Reminds me of the ‘ring’ in The Hobbit (the book). In broad daylight you could see a blur of the wearer, but in lower-light situations the person was invisible.
everyone that belives this is an idiot,obviuosly its fake,the mans hands and text behind his head are a dead giveaway.it is called green screen projection and has been used in movies for years.
So give us a link to see something . I mean a movie where it`s been used before publishing this thing here and after that I`ll probably agree with you…

wow that really looks cool. Typically when you see cloaking on the internet you are thinking blackhat, this is the good cloaking that will not get you banned by Google. Stop Foreclosure
