Maybe I'm wrong but they appear to be changing the refraction index of the material. Although rather clever, it is actually just reflecting light from the viewer-side of the effect back to the viewer. Invisibility FAIL

It only seems to work for a short duration and at a certain angle. If you could see it straight-on, they would have filmed it that way. Reminds me of looking at the shimmer effect coming off a long road on a hot day.
