This Clothing Line Tricks AI Cameras Without Covering Your Face

An AI camera may think you're a zebra.

@_L1vY_ I don't understand how this is supposed to help, just like how earlier things that effectively erased your face were supposed to help.

If there's suddenly a zebra wandering around in public that's going to trigger MORE surveillance on you, not less, surely?

@ZDL The trade-off is whether you're attracting human attention or machine recog attention, so pick your poison I suppose.

I've been wondering if it's possible to develop a makeup that is invisible to the human eye but opaque to machine vision. So you could put invisible stripes all over your face.

I wonder how zinc laden sunscreen looks, for instance.

And maybe something similar in the weave of clothes.

@springdiesel @_L1vY_ @ZDL people have tried. At one point, a modality did work,but you had to do a Bowie level makeup of stripes and blobs. Subsequently the recognition software ignored surface and went for bone structure. As we adapt, so do they.

That said, I fail to see how this would stop facial recognition. On a system where it automatically discounted non human, maybe...but thatโ€™s not how most surveillance cameras work. The scan specific areas, starting with face...so...I dunno, Iโ€™m gonna need to see the specs before I believe this.
