Not that I'm saying said technology works, but it could be something like this:

Although I would assume the range of cover of the cloak would have to be much larger than shown in the image and it is hit-or-miss in Photoshop when using that feature.

Plus, why would the cloak, if it works as described, cast a shadow?

Edit: Ah, I see now. On the actual site they admit mockups. But why not make the mockups more accurate by reducing the shadow in Photoshop as they claim the cloak only casts 5% of the resulting shadow. But if it casts even that little of a shadow would the cloak not show that on the visible side? Wouldn't the cloak stand out by being slightly darker than the surrounding area?
