The U.S. military is backing the development of camouflage fabrics that could one day make soldiers completely invisible.
The so-called 'Quantum Stealth' camouflage material is said to render its wearers completely invisible by bending light waves around them.
Its makers claim the material, which is in effect similar to the invisibility cloak worn by Harry Potter, can even fool night-vision goggles.
The material renders the target completely invisible by bending light waves around the target. It removes not only your visual, infrared (night vision) and thermal signatures but also the target’s shadow.
However, its development is apparently so secret the Canadian company behind it says it cannot even show the technology in action and offers only mock ups of its effect on their website.
Maple Ridge, B.C.-based Hyperstealth Biotechnology has developed "Quantum Stealth," a type of camouflage that bends light around the wearer or an object to create the illusion of invisibility
Nevertheless, Guy Cramer, CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp, says he does not care that some observers remain sceptical as to his company's claims since 'the people that need to know that it works have seen it'.
Mr Cramer likened the new technology to Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and described its ability to easily and effectively hide a soldier in different environments.

Mr Cramer states 'Two separate command groups within the U.S. Military and two separate Canadian Military groups as well as Federal Emergency Response Team (Counter Terrorism) have seen the actual material so they could verify that I was not just manipulating video or photo results,'
Mr Cramer has stated that he cannot disclose any details about how this fabric bends light around its wearer.
