I wonder if this could be used to make traffic corners slightly less dangerous. If it could be scaled up enough, you could maybe put a tube diagonally through a hedge, with a big viewing assembly on one end.
Otherwise, i'm a bit at a loss as to possible uses of this.
- tizzdogg 11y agoIn this setup it looks like you can't obscure the center of the cylinder defined by the lenses. That's where the background light goes. So the cloaked region is actually a long tube with a hole through the middle, and probably wouldn't work for street corners. It's a neat demonstration though. It seems like the point is to show cloaking with the simplest materials and optics possible.
