That was always the biggest question I had when I heard about this "cylinder" of light bending around an object. Yes, if you bent light around you, so that it recombined on the other side, you would in effect be totally blind because no light was reaching your eyes.

Michio Kaku described this as a problem in a video I saw here on the Sift a while back, and he said so far you'd basically have to cut two eye holes in the cylinder, but then there would just be two eyes floating around the room.

I wasn't taught that the universe is made out of atoms, but rather that the universe is a whole lot of nothing. As the dark matter and dark energy theories are (apparently) still just highly theoretical, those text books are currently correct, yes?

You could get around the problem of bending light through Augmented Reality data carried on a frequency that isn't bent by the "cloak". Still, that's a little different than turning invisible with no perceptual problems.
