*New cache ideas forming* But will wait till the cost comes down
a bit ;D

Wow, that's incredible!
I can't see how it could be used with a cache though - maybe my
creative cap isn't on :D
Now, imagine one which SHOWS things you can't see - that'd work
for a cache too! ;)
Thanks for sharing! :)

The basic four lens version, you need a gap in the central spot
for it to work or the item your hiding, doesn't cross the
central spot

>
> For their demonstration cloak, the researchers used 50mm
achromatic doublets with focal lengths f1 = 200mm and f2 = 75mm
>
>
>
- Purchase 2 sets of 2 lenses with different focal lengths f1
and f2 (4 lenses total, 2 with f1 focal length, and 2 with f2
focal length)
>
- Separate the first 2 lenses by the sum of their focal lengths
(So f1 lens is the first lens, f2 is the 2nd lens, and they are
separated by t1= f1+ f2).
>
- Do the same in Step 2 for the other two lenses.
>
- Separate the two sets by t2=2 f2 (f1+ f2) / (f1— f2) apart,
so that the two f2 lenses are t2 apart.
>
>
> NOTES:
>
>
>
- Achromatic lenses provide best image quality.
>
- Fresnel lenses can be used to reduce the total length
(2t1+t2)
>
- Smaller total length should reduce edge effects and increase
the range of angles.
>
- For an easier, but less ideal, cloak, you can try the 3 lens
cloak in the paper.
