Yeah. Knew about this. "fabric" incorporating fiber optic cables that project whatever is on the opposite side of the wearer (from the viewer's standpoint). So if one was to look at the side of a wearer of this fabric, they would "see" whatever is physically on the other side of the wearer.
As far as I know, you need light for the cameras to see, so this wouldn't work if the wearer were up against a wall. The lack of light wouldn't allow the cameras to see the wall, and the front of the wearer would look black/grays.
So I believe.

umm if i remember correctly i read about this particular incadent with optic camo (the one pictured above) if i remember it right they found that it was a hoax what really happened was nothing more then a camera trick like the ones done with green screen and they were called on it by a site like 2 years ago (give or take) so even though i know it has been worked on (the whole cam here vid there makes you look like your nowhere) the pic being used does nothing more then make you look bad (unless i'm wrong and they disproved a different claim to this tech at which point i would sincerely apologize)

There is a small camera on the other side of his jacket that was wirelessly feeding a projector that the camera man had.

No green screens were involved, this is the old "camera and projector" trick. The guy is wearing a projector screen basically, that's why it's silver.
