The ability is see is fundamental to our very existence. How true
our perceptions really are depends upon many factors, and not least
is our understanding of what light is and how it interacts with
matter. It was said that the camera, the icon of light recording
instruments, never lies, and in the day of the glass plate and
celluloid roll-film this might well have been true. But in this
modern era, with electronic cameras and computer software, it is
often safe to assume that the camera always lies. The advertising
images that bombard our every waking moment are manipulated in
shape, profile, color, and form. In this new era, light can be
manipulated with metamaterials to make one object look like another
or even cause that objects to vanish, literally before our eyes;
not only can the image we see be manipulated, but so can the light
itself.
