Scientists Closing In On Invisibility Cloak

Well I found an article saying that scientists can almost make invisibility cloaks to hide humans:

What're your thoughts on this?

 

Amazing. I want to see it when it's done in real life. I think it could be possible.

 

I'd like to see it when it's done too. Or rather not be able to see lol...

 

Wow thats actually pretty cool, but couldn't it be dangerous in a way?

Easier robberies ect?

 

Yeah if it falls into the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous.

 

I'm pretty sure it would be for military purposes only.
I wonder if it would be in a cloth form or more of a tent or a box.

 

I saw a special on History Channel were thy put LED lights into clothing and a camera on the other side of the person. Then a computer simply projected w/e was on the other side onto the LED's. Obviously faulty, but with a little adaptation it could work. This sounds much better though.

 

Yeah, I saw that on the news. Word is, they're working on making it bigger, to use for their tanks outside shields, etc. Some scary stuff if it works :3

 

Damn that's awesome, good for robbing a house or store lol.

 

That's cool but not really safe. More robberies could occur because of it :|

 

It would be so expensive that it would not be practical for petty thieves to use, atleast for the first few decades the technology is available.

 

They can just be seen by infrared, and plus, it's not reversible (yet) so I doubt anyone would likely pay all that money, to have more money and not be able to use it .
