6. Invisibility Cloak Optical Camoflauge............ It works by taking advantage of something called augmented-reality technology a type of technology first pioneered in the 1960s by Ivan Sutherland and his students at Harvard University and the University of Utah. The invisibility cloak is still in its infancy and real-world applications are still being tested. Invisibility allows light to bend around an object. Once this technology becomes more advanced, scientists believe that it can be used for many safety measures, including eliminating blind spots in cars and planes to prevent accidents.
