I would lay it on the path and watch ever body's reactions, Or some cool contact lenses

I am sure theres a few ninjas out there lusting after this material.

But there will be many benefits yet to be thought for this material. As it says in the video telescopes are coated inside with a black paint, this material is 10x darker which will stop you losing up to 40% of captured light.

 

Edit:

How to make an object invisible,

I can image a reversable outfit one reflects all light one absorbs all light. Or combine them both which would be a fashion statement.
