Well sort of.

University of Toronto has come up with a design that can shield an object entirely from radar. additionally you can make objects appear larger or smaller as well. Basically they took a pile of mini antennae and put it as a shell around an object. Generate a frequency and block yourself from radar. Article goes on to say that future designs could be used to make an object disappear from sight as well.

All very interesting stuff.

Researchers from the University of Toronto have successfully demonstrated an "invisibility cloak" that can make objects undetectable to radar.
Prof. George Eleftheriades and PhD candidate Michael Selvanayagam have designed a new way to cloak an object by surrounding it with small antennas that radiate an electromagnetic field, effectively making it "disappear" from microwave and radio wave detectors.

I 3d printed one of these once, enabling people to wear a cloak. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:158669

So yes, technically I have a cloaking device. I also printed a clock with it. Well, parts of one anyways. it isn't done yet.

Eh, stuff like this gets reported every now and again.

I'll believe it when I see it or don't, rather.

Wasn't there a thing that had hundreds of tiny cameras and screens on a fabric being developed? Like the optic camouflage from MGS?

Usually it's some "invisibility cloak" all superhero style. This looks to be a radar evasion thingie which is a lot less exciting for a common man like myself. i mean "make plans invisible to radar" isn't exactly a cutting edge concept even if the method is new and superior.

Edit: Missed the "future designs could" part but, yeah, words are cheap. Make shit invisible and I'll care.
