Actually, the US military has a version of the this a lot closer to reality than you might think. They are developing a system called adaptive camouflage that utilizes electrically charged material (similar to a wearable LCD panel) that mimics its surrounding by shifting colors at a pixel level. It also negates IR and heat signatures.

Overall effect is similar to the cloaking in "Predator".

If the military would just do a little bit of homework, Burt Campbell (the late Richard Mulligan) had this perfected on SOAP over 20 years ago !! LOL
