  I prefer dazzle paint. It looks way more badass.

    In what direction are you moving in? I can’t tell!

  N95 Masks do the same thing AND reduce the likelihood that you’ll contract some kind of hypothetical airborne disease.

    My understanding is that typical N95 masks may not prevent facial recognition. Different systems have different performance but many will work successfully with a masked subject. The position of the eyes are one of the key inputs to many facial recognition systems.

    China government creates a software that circumvent masks and they can profile your face even if you’re using them.

    Google photos can recognize my butt somehow. So I don’t doubt facial recognition systems can work around masks when given a clear photo to work with

  I doubt they work, and they’re definitely not worth the price imo

  I can get a pair of prescription sunglasses for less than that

    Idk if regular sunglasses will prevent your face from being captured by facial recognition systems.

      I don’t believe the glasses you linked will do so either lol

      And how exactly are these glasses preventing that ? Simple ray optics would suggest otherwise !

      They most certainly do not, my FaceID worked flawlessly with all of my glasses, invluding sunglasses even when I did not set it up with glasses

  I suppose putting on a very unique pair of glasses would for sure avoid facial recognition. Why would there be a need to recognize your face if u make yourself so obviously different vs others. Haha.

  A dumbass camera would be sufficient. No need for complicated facial recognition camera.

    But if majority wear this to prevent facial recognition, they won’t be standing out anymore.

  As far as I can tell, these supposedly protect you from facial recognition because they reflect IR. I’m not an expert in security cameras, but don’t they only use IR at night? While they could technically run 24/7, that would burn out the LEDs in half the time.

  These are also quite similar to the “anti-paparazi” reflective clothing. If you are interested in these as a statement piece, those might be of interest to you as well.

  These seem like the developer came up with the function of the sunglasses after coming up with the sunglasses (after being inspired by the anti-paparazi clothes).

  All in all, I don’t really see much value in these sunglasses; and I suppose I wouldn’t really be that concerned about facial recognition with proper masking safety, anyways.

  If you live in a authoritarian country this will just put a target on your back. They will still stop and search you: independent.co.uk/…/facial-recognition-cameras-te…

  The only thing they block is the eyes, nothing is obscured otherwise, their own demos on their website show that.

  I personally won’t be wasting my money, if I want to obscure my face I’ll wear a face mask and color contacts like I already do.

  • chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    but if we combine the glasses with a mask maybe we have a good approach, right?

  that is diamond grade (if i recall correctly) reflective material. You can find it taped to any old road cone, train car, signs, truck trailers, etc. Don’t damage critical road signs but the stuff is easily found scattered near busy roads. Add it to whatever accessory you like.

  Are these not just glasses blocking IR? I didn’t look too much into them, but looking at the lenses. Looks like IR blocking lenses.
