Becoming invisible like Harry Potter? now possible!

Invisibility cloak now a reality!

Scientists at UC Berkeley have taken a major step toward making Harry Potter's disguise of choice a reality. They've engineered two new materials — one using a fishnet of metal layers, the other using tiny silver wires — that neither absorb nor reflect light, causing it instead to bend backward. The principle at work is refraction, which is what makes a straw appear bent in a glass of water.

Optical camouflage doesn't work by way of magic. It works by taking advantage of something called augmented-reality technology. Most augmented-reality systems require that users look through a special viewing apparatus to see a real-world scene enhanced with synthesized graphics. They also require a powerful computer. Optical camouflage requires these things, as well, but it also requires several other components. Here's everything needed to make a person appear invisible:

* A garment made from highly reflective material
* A video camera
* A computer
* A projector
* A special, half-silvered mirror called a combiner
