Recently I came accross this which has potential to work if it is improved a little more.
Previously there were attempts of reflecting the background image over the so called invisibly cloak but that works only on certain angles of looking at it and it needs to change projection continiously to reflect back to the observer and the projector position which is difficult to apply while mobile and projector is visible. This one is an optical illusion hiding the vertical countours behind the lens.
I think from higher altitudes it can be difficult for drones to distinguish infantry this way. This however does not protect visiblity from the IR spectrum. You would also need an infrared blocker transparent material behind the shield to hide from the IR spectrum as well. It can prove handy for making spec ops cross border operations.
if the shield is attached to the back to the solider crawling on the ground moving or shield is held above of the crouching soldier it would be hard to detect from above even sar cannot detect a crawling low profile target connected to ground. Sar also is like a snapshot picture does not work like a camera continious feed that is required for moving targets. Or if you dig a long trench or many holes and position atgms inside one of them drones,sats with optical-ir sensors cannot find the exact position inside the trench. if you dig a single hole though covering it wont be effective as Sar equipped spy sat photos can be used to target the hole as a possible location. Glass also is partially transparent to radar waves and partially absorbs it. Maybe it can also reduce Sar radar picture effectiveness blending to the environment as well. It can be experimented against Sar radars as well in that case single atgm-stinger etc. holes would be effective defensive positions.
But anyways it can be used in addition to static nets(sar camouflage) to cover atgm-sam trench holes.
