Umm seems that they are a little mixed up and using incorrect terms...
This has nothing to do with cloaking "time" as they want to imply. it may be a modification on slowing time, but i saw no indication of that in the article... They talk of splitting and slowing light... which would be useful to mess with people... in particular those who use their eyes as their primary sensing organ, but those who don't would be a bit put off by it but then get used to it... the idea of sneaking around or what not also isn't really practical as you would just delay the light...everything else would work the same thus not really beneficial even with long delays.

"And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can mostly say they lived happily ever after. But for them it was the beginning of the real story. All there life in this world and all there adventures in Narnia had only be the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of The Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before" - C.S Lewis, The Last Battle.

you are bombarded with light from all over so you wouldnt notice a decrease in light for the most part but what happens is that the light ray slows way down, temporarily causing a gap. It's hard to describe in words but basically imagine a desyncing of the thing you are seeing and all other senses because it can only be held for a short time... So assuming they got it to slow down for 5 seconds what wold happen is that whatever is slowing the light is in the suit and is holding it with the suit so the for 5 seconds after you enter a room you are invisible, but then where every you are the light from those 5 seconds start getting released from where you are... so we can see where you are, but what we are seeing is what you did 5 seconds ago though distorted... you also see a shadow on the ground as you normally would. you'd hear all the sounds and smell all the smells.
though you could technically make a complete cloak out of it if you could figure out how to hold the light for long periods of time... you could also use the tech to possibly increase the effectiveness of solar panels though im not sure how practical that would be...

Take the number of times they used the phrase "time lens" and multiply that by gobbledygook and you get a very clear explanation of what they're doing.

"What scientists at Cornell University did was on a much smaller scale, both in terms of events and time. It happened so quickly that it's not even a blink of an eye. Their time cloak lasts an incredibly tiny fraction of a fraction of a second. They hid an event for 40 trillionths of a second, according to a study appearing in Thursday's edition of the journal Nature."
