This was utterly stupid and useless. There was no point in having this hoax except for the fact that they revealed it’s secret on April Fools Day, “Ha ha ha….”
Absolute rubbish.

Update: It was fake. I guess I lost my awe and amazement about the same time I stopped believing in Santa Claus.

Has to be fake. Hope nobody paid for the demo cameras. How do you get super fast shutter speeds and super low iso? He’s being very vague and grandiose about his claims, builds a camera, yet doen’t know the science behind it.

I posted a comment on Magnorama skepical of it but they wouldn’t post the comment.

@Patrick Hall, so you are saying you weren’t duped? Because your post and comments sure don’t read that way.

“Hopefully some of our more technical readers can explain this to me…”

“Update… Unfortunately I still don’t think he addresses the questions needed to debunk this as a hoax.”

“@Beach, Ah Beach I should have sent this to you earlier. I forgot you went to MIT for Aerospace. Yeah you need to explain this to me over a beer.”

I’m calling you out.

If the optical box was polarized in any way, it wouldn’t be 100% transparent. On the other hand, in my endeavor to debunk this, I realized a potentially working concept for engineering the film, using UV reactive thin films :o

So, I managed to find via google cache the photos that were originally posted under field test, since I was late to the party and missed that!

Anyway, here’s one : http://www.theinvisiblecamera.com/fieldtest/index_files/BIGinvisiblecamera_birken.jpg.jpg presumably the photo he took while using the invisible camera on the tripos in the movie? ANYWAY, if you look at the photo details, you see CMK, WELLSHG001.

As in HG Wells, as in, author of “The Invisible Man”

Well, I am just not sure. The key to a good hoax or April Fool’s joke is to be JUST within the believable. This is off the charts on the unbelievable side of things. That alone makes me want to watch for the punch line. Or not.

@Matt, I was going to say the same thing. My husband amplifies light, and he even “shapes it” So, YES, you can amplify light.

Very elaborate April fools joke!
