Now you can buy your own invisibility shield that really works (video)

Probably from the time of the caves every person has ever dreamed of becoming invisible. It’s good to disappear or spy unnoticed…

Items, potions, and spells that make you invisible are very common in comics, literature, or science fiction films. But they are just fantasies. Until now…

a company called Shield of Invisibility Company. just put up for sale first commercial stealth shield. Everything you place behind it, from objects to people, becomes invisible. You can see it in this breathtaking video:

Looking at the photos, it may seem that this is a “chip”, a plastic painting with a background design, but it is not. In the video itself, you can see how in a marine environment waves move behind an invisible person. And also at the end there is a 360 video where the background of the shield changes.

It’s true that it’s not perfect invisibility because the background is a bit blurry, but at medium distance it works. And up close, it still looks like translucent plastic. In addition, it does not need any form of energy.

Where is the magic of this shield of invisibility? It’s not magic, it’s science. It is based on classic biconvex lenses. Surely you have ever seen the 3D effect that some book covers or some DVD or Blu-ray movie covers have, which creates a 3D image when viewed from the front and becomes flat when viewed from the side.

East invisibility shield modifies light according to the parameters of Snell’s law, which calculates the angle of refraction of light when it crosses an interface between two media.

Every object has a refractive index of light, and we see it differently if light passes through air or another medium such as water. This is easy to check: if we dip a spoon into a glass of water, we will see that the spoon is bent. In addition, its shape changes depending on where we look from.

Invisibility Shield used all these concepts to create a material that refracts light and allows you to create blind spots at a certain distance from the invisibility shield.

As we can see in the video, the shield allows us to see what is close and what is far, but not what is in the middle distance (the object to be hidden). It works best with straight line backgrounds such as those used in videos. Agree, quite effective.

Best if you like it you can buy it now on kickstarter. A small shield measuring 30 x 20 cm to hide objects costs about 57 euroand the shield for sheltering a person, 95 by 65 cm, reaches 350 euros.
