A military camouflage uniform company has created a light-bending material which can make objects and people appear invisible.

HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp said its new applications related to their Quantum Stealth technology - otherwise known as the Invisibility Cloak.

It works by bending light waves around selected objects, removing visuals and even the target's shadow.

The firm, based in British Columbia, Canada, has released a series of incredible videos showing the material hide helmets, hats and even people.

But the most impressive footage shows a man walk out from behind a large piece of the material where he had been hidden.

The 'invisibility cloak' can even bend light in near infrared, near ultraviolet and short-wave infrared, as the video shows.

It is able to block the Therman Spectrum, which is how it garnered its nickname of the 'Broadband Invisibility cloak'.

The product is inexpensive and has no power source. It can hide a number of objects including army vehicles and ships.

It can work in any environment and is able to perform well any time of the day or night.

HyperStealth's CEO and inventor of Quantum Stealth, Guy Cramer said: 'True invisibility was thought to be impossible by most physicists.

'Not only does this material hide a target in the visible spectrum, but it also works in the Ultraviolet, Infrared and Shortwave Infrared, and it blocks the Thermal Spectrum, making it a true ''Broadband Invisibility Cloak''.

'There is no power source, it is paper-thin and inexpensive, it can hide a person, a vehicle, a ship, a spacecraft and a building.

'One piece of Quantum Stealth can work in any environment, in any season and at any time of the day or night, something no other camouflage is capable of.

'I expect in less than a year we will begin to see practical applications.'

There is a heavy anti-cloaking device lobby by the paparazzi.

Must be the clown show in DC; I can think of several amusements for such stuff.

2028: Huge panels will line the interstates and major thoroughfares in Los Angeles so that visitors to the Olympics from around the world will not have to view the real state of the streets & the denizens that eke out survival thereon.

And Brazil, you thought your big highway wall was innovative... hah.

Weave this into some Carhartts and you're my new friend.

Tin here, you can call me Tin or Tin Foil or TF

found a longer demo vid on YT and one of the objects was a jet.
Not sure how you can carry the clocking shield while flying BUT

Is that a 1/16 model of an early MIG-29 (a,b,c) with Ruskie baby blue camo?
The 2nd pic is from a 1/16 model club blog, it is the latest version with the above wing venting for use while taxying
