  2. Metamaterial cloaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamaterial_cloaking

    The guiding vision for the metamaterial cloak is a device that directs the flow of light smoothly around an object, like water flowing past a rock in a stream, without reflection, rendering the object invisible. In reality, the simple cloaking devices of the present are imperfect, and have limitations.

  3. Invisibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisibility

    An object in this state is said to be invisible (literally, "not visible"). The phenomenon is studied by physics and perceptual psychology . Since objects can be seen by light from a source reflecting off their surfaces and hitting the viewer's eyes , the most natural form of invisibility (whether real or fictional) is an object that neither ...

  4. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    A transparency of 50 percent is enough to make an animal invisible to a predator such as cod at a depth of 650 metres (2,130 ft); better transparency is required for invisibility in shallower water, where the light is brighter and predators can see better. For example, a cod can see prey that are 98 percent transparent in optimal lighting in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaking_device

    An operational, non-fictional cloaking device might be an extension of the basic technologies used by stealth aircraft, such as radar-absorbing dark paint, optical camouflage, cooling the outer surface to minimize electromagnetic emissions (usually infrared), or other techniques to minimize other EM emissions, and to minimize particle emissions from the object.

  6. Active camouflage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_camouflage

    Active camouflage provides concealment by making an object not merely generally similar to its surroundings, but effectively invisible with "illusory transparency" through accurate mimicry, and by changing the appearance of the object as changes occur in its background.

  7. Blind spot (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_(vision)

    Distribution of rods and cones along a line passing through the fovea and the blind spot of a human eye [1]. A blind spot, scotoma, is an obscuration of the visual field.A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, "blind point", or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the ...
