Invisibility cloak for surveillance cameras - the reality of 2023

The Chinese city of Wuhan is not only famous for being the epicenter of Covid. The best minds of the planet work in the technical universities located on the territory of the city. It is thanks to them that the whole world receives new technological developments used in modern electronics. The invisibility cloak InvisDefense, created by graduate students at one of the universities, has attracted the attention of the military. The guys figured out how to fool conventional cameras, thermal imagers and night cameras with IR illumination.

InvisDefense invisibility cloak - know-how

 

Of course, the manufacturing technology, in full, is not disclosed. But it is known for certain that in the production of the invisibility cloak they used electronics capable of emitting thermal and electronic signals in different ranges and directions. Cameras equipped with artificial intelligence simply do not notice a person in this raincoat, mistaking him for an inanimate object. Only the operator, who sits at the control panel and peers at the monitors, can notice the deception.

 

It is known that in addition to electronics, the raincoat itself has a special camouflage print, which helps to “smear” the outlines of a person on the ground. The raincoat has several modes of operation - for day and night use. The built-in electronics are controlled by the built-in microcomputer.

For the first time, the InvisDefense invisibility cloak "lit up" at the Huawei Cup electronics exhibition, which is held annually in the field of information and telecommunication technologies. This cup is held for pupils, students and graduate students of various educational institutions. Thanks to the Huawei Cup, many developed or emerging companies are looking for smart employees. Along the way, they are looking for innovations and acquiring patents.
