[13] [14] Other types of invisibility cloak are also possible, including ones that cloak events rather than objects. However, cloaking a human-sized object at visible wavelengths appears to have low probability. [15] Indeed, there appears to be a fundamental problem with these devices as "invisibility cloaks": [16]
The guiding vision for the metamaterial cloak is a device that directs the flow of light smoothly around an object, like water flowing past a rock in a stream, without reflection, rendering the object invisible. In reality, the simple cloaking devices of the present are imperfect, and have limitations.
Spatial cloaks have other characteristics: whatever they contain can (in principle) be kept invisible forever, since an object inside the cloak may simply remain there. Signals emitted by the objects inside the cloak that are not absorbed can likewise be trapped forever by its internal structure.
If you ever hoped an invisibility cloak was a real thing, you will be happy to know that one now exists. Unfortunately, it will only work on something incredibly small, specifically microscopic.

Ukraine has reportedly developed a real-life “invisibility cloak” that can hide soldiers from Russian thermal cameras thanks to its unique properties that block heat signature radiation. The ...
An operational, non-fictional cloaking device might be an extension of the basic technologies used by stealth aircraft, such as radar-absorbing dark paint, optical camouflage, cooling the outer surface to minimize electromagnetic emissions (usually infrared), or other techniques to minimize other EM emissions, and to minimize particle emissions from the object.
