These Clothing Patterns Can Help You Hide From Surveillance Cameras
Facial detection technologies have gone from commonplace to near-ubiquitous in major cities, prompting some privacy researchers to look for ways to thwart them. Hacker and former CISO Bill Swearingen's noRecognition project can now generate patterns that hide a wearer from cameras, making them useful for t-shirts, face coverings, hats, and other garments to help maintain your privacy.
People have been using makeup and specific clothing patterns to trick smart cameras for years, but with improvements in AI and image recognition, this has grown increasingly difficult. The noRecognition project wants to both enhance these apparel countermeasures and make them more readily available, hence the crowdfunding campaign.
"Privacy is a fundamental right," Swearingen told TechCrunch, saying he wanted people to be able to opt out of being tracked with something as simple as a choice of clothing.
