'Invisibility Cloak' Patented

Ulyanovsk State University Professor Oleg Gadomsky has recieved a Russian patent for an "INVISIBILITY CLOAK" -- a method for making things INVISIBLE. The technology is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from an American invention I told you about in my newsletter in September, 2002, as well as invisibility technology invented at Tokyo University, which I told you about in January, 2003, although it's likely that the photograph used on one of the Russian publication links is from the Tokyo effort.

Japanese guys were doing this same thing years ago. Just another example of how patents are busted.

I believe Popular Science had an article about a cloak like this a while back. It "sees" what is behind you and shows it on the cloak

This is a cool thing, fairly old though.
It has to be viewed through a special scope and a specific angle and blah blah blah.
Very cool though, lots of great potential uses.

Ok look...This is an old story but it was made by Japanese Students. It's called Optical Camouflage - http://projects.star.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/projects/MEDIA/xv/oc.html - check it out for yourself. Some Russian guy did not invent it. This was also featured at Wired's Nextfest in San Fransisco not too long ago.

I amazed how this "invisible cloacking" story keeps returning.

For this to work you only need a webcam, a video projector and a highly reflective fabric.

The web cam is on the opposite side of the projector, relative to the fabric. The projector just projects the webcam video stream on the fabric.

The "invisibility" only works if the viewer is perfectly aligned with the webcam.

99.9999999999999% of all the viewers will see the object from another angle...

this is so stupid, a fake japanese technology like this came out a few years ago. THIS IS NOT REAL!!! atleast not the way that its portrayed. There is a way to array cameras arond an object but its not a see through suit. or, go buy a light blue jacket, shoot video from 2 cams, chroma key it (blue Screen) and boom, you have the same effect. how are people so stupid, it even specifies that it cant use moving images

The article didn't say he invented it, it said he PATENTED it, Sherlock.

Seriously people, read the further info before you post. In links given to you form this blogspot, it auctually states that this is NOT the same technology that was used by Japan 2 odd years ago. Instead this is some kind of gold particle light bending... Thing. Read for yourselves.

Know what your talking about before you start freaking out.

if you look at the youtube video, check the tv screen where people are walking by and when the person is in front of the screen. the slowdown looks like a computer projection to me

Question: Who actually needs to be invisible? OK, it's cool and whatever, but is it necessary? I also am not sure if it would even work, but why do we need it?
