These anti-facial recognition glasses technically work, but won’t save you from our surveillance dystopia.

    I’ve been thinking for a little while that it might be interesting to build on a pair of glasses with a couple IR LEDs at either edge and a battery pack to light them up. I can’t decide if that would be good to wear to a protest because the glare would likely obscure your entire face to cameras, or if it would be a bad idea because you’d stick out immediately on any surveillance.

      That would probably be more effective as a form of protest against such technologies.

        So you’re saying we need to make plans and soldering parties with all of our new friends. That’s a good plan, actually.

      I don’t even know if it would work. Most cameras have an IR filter they use during the day.
