depends on your definition of cloak. When I understand the article correctly, the German scientists put a dent in a surface and than covered the surface with a special layer so you don't see the dent anymore.

Hmm. This, I invented years ago. Just use plaster to fill up the holes in your wall, than paint over it and the holes in the wall are also invisible.

Just that they skipped the "use plaster to fill up the holes" part.

But on the other hand, their "hole" is so tiny that you wouldn't be able to squeeze any plaster into it in the first place. So Yeah.

But it isn't about a hole, but about, errm, vocabulary - the opposite.
Though I think it would work roughly the same with a hole, just that it would not be as impressive.

The picture is upside down, and that had me confused for a while.

I would have thought this existed already for some time. oops.
