Actually, they have had a working invisibility cloak now for a couple of years at least.
A company in Japan made a fabric that is covered in tiny camera / LCD screens. I don't remember how small, but like tiny sequins.
The cameras send a composited image of what is on one side of the cloth over to the other side to display on the LCDs, and vise versa. The whole effect is that basically you see through somebody.
You wind up with a Preditor Effect. A slight shimmer as the fabric moves and the displayed images resequence themselves to the camera imput.
It's pretty cool stuff.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
