Cloaking Device

From Xenopedia

The Cloaking Device is a Yautja hunter's tool. It warps light around the user and projects a hologram of the wall behind it over top of the bent light, rendering the user invisible. This is used by Yautja that are hunting prey that shoot back ie. humans, however a purely xenomorph hunt would make the Active Camo next to useless because the xenomorphs can still "sense" or "see" the yautja warrior. Yautja starships have a larger version capable of giving the entire vessel camouflage.

However, it is not perfect, as when the user moves, there will be a man-shaped, albeit 7'2", bubble in the air, and laser sights will be refracted by the field. It will short-circuit if it comes in contact with water, and the extra-long Wrist Blades favoured by some hunters are sometimes not covered by the hologram or bent light.

[edit] A.V.P:2 Video Game

The cloaking device simply makes the user partially transparent, as the game engine was too poor to wrap light around the Predator sprite. It also lets the player see what she or he is doing.
