Jun 07, 2013 'Invisibility cloak' uses lenses to bend light - CNET The Rochester Cloak array, showing how the lenses bend light. Rochester University The off-the-shelf lenses are placed at such a distance from each other so as to allow the light to act in Cloaking devices are real, here are the best science has Sep 18, 2015 University of Rochester physicists design ‘invisibility cloak’

Three-dimensional, continuously multidirectional cloaking

A multidirectional `perfect paraxial’ cloak using four lenses. From a continuous range of viewing angles, the hand remains cloaked, and the grids seen through the device match the background on the wall (about 2 m away), in color, spacing, shifts, and magnification. // photo by J. Adam Fenster / University of Rochester OSA | Paraxial full-field cloaking Discovery Channel, Canada, “Daily Planet,” (March 18, 2015). Two 4 lens cloaks are presented: One is the original “Rochester Cloak.” The other has almost double the field-of-view, 1.5 times the cloaked diameter, and a cloaking region that no longer needs the center unobstructed.

There Is Now An IRL Invisibility Cloak You Can Make For $50 Back in September, researchers at the University of Rochester announced that they had created a 3D-transmitting continuously multidirectional cloaking device. Yeah, we weren't sure what that meant University of Rochester Creates 3-D Cloaking Device After months of media attention, researchers from the University of Rochester’s Institute of Optics (USA) have published their design for a low-tech broadband cloaking device from common lenses (Opt. Express, doi: 10.1364/OE.22.029465). cloaking Archives - NewsCenter - University of Rochester Scientists at the University of Rochester invented an actual cloaking device that will make objects disappear. This is not a joke. You can buy a cloaking device for $49.
