The cloak of invisibility and invisibility combined...on an Aston Martin...Then you can be James Bond...]]>Jul 27th 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/

A cloaked missile with a pre-programmed trajectory wouldn't necessarily need to be able to "see". Equally if I was wearing a cloak shielding me from visible light, there's no reason that I couldn't instead view the world in infra-red.]]>Jul 27th 2010 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
Solid Snake dont need to see!
I see for him...]]>Jul 27th 2010 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/we already have "stealth" missiles that are invisible to radar and that's good enough since that's a quick hit attack that doesn't necessarily rely on invisibility. Invisibility is more useful for slow moving attack or stationary objects. There may be a point to the "seeing in infrared" but then you do have to worry about the infrared that you emanate being visible to the enemy as well.]]>Jul 27th 2010 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/Jul 27th 2010 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
have you ever seen a cloak without eyeholes?]]>Jul 27th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
while i know that was a poor attempt at a joke...I'll dignify that with a response anyways...

Obviously, eye holes are a detriment to the light bending they attempt to achieve...]]>Jul 27th 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
You assume one would block all available wavelengths. If you selectively allow for a small band of light to filter through, you could effectively see out, even if those wavelengths were IR. All you need are screens/viewing devices that display those wavelengths to you.]]>Jul 27th 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
Quick! File a patent for a variable, self-calibrating invisibility cloak and outward visual device, that changes its band of unblocked wavelengths at a predetermined time interval, allowing you to see out, while making it incredibly difficult for people or scanners to see you.]]>Jul 27th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
scanners maybe, people no...I liken it to the invisible enemies in Doom...if you let frequencies through, even for a moment, and even just partially, people will see it. And if you know what you're looking for, a certain glimmer or quick flash, you'll see it and then it won't matter cause you'll be able to kill it. There has to be a better solution than that.]]>Jul 27th 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/Obviously so you can touch yourself while in inappropriate places. Sheesh.

You're right, this totally freaking useless. What idiot would have any use at all for an invisibility cloak with blindness. I mean, there is absolutely no use in making non-seeing objects invisible. Stupid eggheads are wasting valuable research money.]]>Jul 28th 2010 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/Jul 28th 2010 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
too bad I already mentioned in another reply that it was only useful for stationary objects. But since you're obviously not even bright enough to read all the replies before commenting, you're not even really worth the energy to argue with...]]>Jul 28th 2010 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/
You'd have to be looking at all frequencies all the time, and you'd have to have it readily distinguishable from the background noise of the light that is ubiquitous even at night (IR, XRAY, etc).]]>Jul 29th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/Jul 27th 2010 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/No, not your left, his left.]]>Jul 27th 2010 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/Jul 27th 2010 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/Jul 27th 2010 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/Jul 27th 2010 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/invisibility-cloak-upgraded-to-bend-infrared-light-not-to-menti/the best HF solver in the world IMO
