Make your OWN invisibility cloak!

Scientists have discovered a way to hide large objects from sight using inexpensive and readily available lenses. And this particular device, called the Rochester Cloak, uses four lenses in a line at specific distances from each other to make objects appear invisible. Scroll down for a video explanation Scientists at the University of Rochester in New York have shown off a method to make objects invisible using a system of lenses. Here doctoral student Joseph Choi is pictured with a the so-called multidirectional `perfect paraxial' cloak using four lenses to make part of his face invisible - while the grid appears intact behind The technique was developed by scientists at the University of Rochester in New York. 'From what we know this is the first cloaking device that provides three-dimensional, continuously multidirectional cloaking,' said Joseph Choi, a graduate student who helped develop the method at Rochester, which is renowned for its optical research.
