OLED, digital paper, and other small screen technologies will make it more viable. with a thin plastic film that is an oled display matrix you could wire a person or object with cameras, put the plastic film over what you want to conceal and then display the camera's images on the film.
but until display screens get more flexible it just makes for fancy photographs.

so the projected image was prerecorded right? It wasn't being captured and projected realtime obviously, since there was no camera in sight.
