When the man touches the plant, however, the background footage and the invisibility footage no longer match up, which causes the odd visuals seen above.

The filmmaker shot footage of the background and then projected that image onto the green sheet in order to make it appear as if the man disappeared behind an invisibility cloak. This indicates that this invisibility cloak is actually some sort of green screen. The motion of the plant resumes once it is no longer hidden behind the invisibility cloak: But as the invisibility cloak covers it up, it instantaneously becomes motionless again. First, we see the plant "double" as the real plant (which was knocked by the man's leg) moves and the digital plant remains in place:Ī few moments later this plant can be seen shaking.

This creates two visuals that conflict with how we'd expect a real invisibility cloak to work.

At the 38-second mark, for instance, the presenter accidentally touches a plant with his leg. This technology can be employed by the military for soldiers to use as "stealth military uniforms" and avoid detection by night-vision goggles.ĭespite these audacious claims, the actual footage contains several clues that this invisibility cloak is nothing more than the result of video editing. 【Made in China Quantum Invisibility Clinics】 Quantum stealth clothing is composed of quantum invisible materials made into clothing, which through the reflection of the light waves around the wearer can make people wearing such clothes achieve an "invisibility" effect. YouTube user 瞭望亞太 (Looking Asia Pacific) posted this video on 3 December 2017, a day before the supposed Deputy Director of China's Criminal Investigation Bureau's post. And although they claimed that this material was "Made in China," this YouTuber didn't provide any information about where or when this video was taken or who developed this groundbreaking material: The convincing video and the seemingly authoritative source led many to believe that this was an authentic invisibility cloak.Īlthough Chen Shiqu does appear to truly be the Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau in China, this video does not appear on the official government web site (nor its Facebook page) and our search for a "quantum cloak" and "quantum steal material" yielded no results on the CIB web site. In short, the Criminal Investigation Bureau in China did not officially endorse this footage.įurthermore, Chen Shiqu did not create this footage. But if criminals use stealth clothing, what are police supposed to do!? This technology can be employed by the military for soldiers to use as "stealth military uniforms" and avoid detection by night-vision goggles.

Quantum cloak is composed of quantum stealth material made into clothing, which reflects the light waves around the wearer, allowing people wearing such clothes to achieve an "invisible" effect. However, this video originally gained traction when it was posted to the Chinese social media site Weibo on 4 December 2017 by 陈士渠 (Chen Shiqu), an internet user who claimed to be the Deputy Director of Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security: Most English speaking internet users encountered this footage after it was shared on Facebook by "Shotded," where it gained more than 22 million views within two days of its initial posting. A video purportedly showing a man demonstrating the abilities of his new invisibility cloak went viral in December 2017.
