Are there glasses that scrambles other people's cameras that the rest of us could wear?
I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.... And I'm all out of bubblegum.
I mean we could wear IR emitors. I imagine glasses with those or hyper reflective parts (like hi-vis vest) would both work to really mess up camera footage.
Cool idea. Also, maybe create a new style in response by making rave clothing for everyday wear.
I am thinking we finally make tron style clothing that lights up in that original supertight sheer leotard.
But your idea is good too.
I mean, if we walk around with confidence, the style will catch on. That pose on the tron style is perfect. I think we're on to something.
If you dress like that, it'll certainly be impossible to recognise you.
If most people start doing this it might work. Until then, you'll just be "That guy"
Zenni offers ID blocking glasses. A friend has them. They look perfectly normal. Can't say how well they work but it stops Apple face ID perfectly well.
I went to the site and tried to pick the ID Guard lens on both a prescription and sunglasses, neither worked. No way to tell how much they are.
It looks like $50-60 per pair.
