Basically the way it works is with optical sensors that transfer the image on the reverse side of the wearer to optical display fabrics on the front side. So what is behind now is duplicated on the front and it gives the illusion of invisibility.
They also are developing the same concept for aircraft, ships, and tanks.

That's what I don't get about why this technique shown here is getting everyone all excited. I'm familiar with the nanotech version with nanoscopic receptors on the cloth, etc. that reflect what's 180 degrees behind them, and that doesn't require any kind of special viewing apparatus.
This Japanese thing getting all the hype looks like it needs to have very special viewing conditions and tools all set up first to even use it. The skeleton video shown on Yahoo would be impossible with either system. That's a pure case of misleading hype right there. It's obviously not his skeleton but it's made to look that way to sell the effect.
