Doesn't work. Consider a simple case: one person wearing that suit, a barren plane (think semi desert) with one tree, and two observers. One observer, the person wearing the suit, and the tree are in a direct line. The other person is a few degrees off this line. The observer on the direct line would get the desired effect, but the other observe would see two trees, the real one, and the one projected from the suit at a small angle. It's just a simple case of parallax, and the further from the background, the worse it gets.

Yes, well it obviously would need some skill to use too. Reduce the number of perspectives people can spot you from(such as getting on the ground or standing against a wall) would reduce this, and people also tend to have the problem of things that are farther away getting smaller and blurrier in their vision, so as long as they dont have some optical aids...
Some advancements would be useful too, like compensating for whatever surface youre close to, like while laying on the ground it would be nigh perfect from above, you'd be more conspicuous if someone was looking straight at you on the ground, if there are any nearby abnormalities in the terrain, such as your foot cameras taking half an off color rock and putting it on your scalp, would instead look right below your face and transfer that to your scalp instead.
Easy to use, hard as Hell to master.
