Anti facial recognition glasses.
IR blocking lenses, reflective frames.
Another way to fuck with a lot of cameras is basically jerry rig some high powered IR LEDs onto your glasses frames, but that does also require a power source and … i guess either a switch, or a battery that is easy to pop in and out.
Im not aware of anyone actually making and selling those, tho.
…
Basically, it can roughly be analogized to stealth tech for a jet:
Reflectacles… are roughly the equivalent of steath RAM and a bit of a mix of scattering radar waves and also active jamming… visual range gets fucked by the reflective frames, ir blocking lenses… block and absorb IR.
The ‘jerry right IR lights into your frames’ option… is more like massive EM jamming done by an ELINT aircraft. You’ll basically just show up as an indescirnable smudge spot, very detectable by cameras… but not identifiable by most cameras, if your IR lamps are strong enough to overload their sensors.
…
Neither of these are guaranteed to work in all situations.
Some cameras can handle massive IR intensity, others have algos that say, identify people not by facial recognition, but by gait analysis… exactly how you carry your self as you walk/run.
Ew, imagine spending money to wear the privacy invasion of everyone around you on your face
Didn’t end well for the people a decade ago with Google glass
android zuckerberg still trying to control human minds through tech.
I always say the same thing about Tesla owners, and similar things about people that use Google Home/Alexa/Siri.
We’ve rolled out the red carpet for Big Brother, and we’ve paid them to do it.
It’s why I’m holding onto my dumb early 2000s car as long as I can. I don’t want a fucking surveillance machine on wheels.

Huzzah for old hoopties! I drive a '97, myself. Doing all your own maintenance goes a long way in keeping your car running, both in terms of the money you spend and your ability to react calmly when something inevitably breaks on it.

They’d better not, for the safety of wearers. I can’t be the only one who remembers the way that people wearing the Google Glasses:
Google started selling a prototype of Google Glass to qualified “Glass Explorers” in the US on April 15, 2013, for a limited period for $1,500, before it became available to the public on May 15, 2014. It has an integrated 5 megapixel still/720p video camera. The headset received a great deal of criticism amid concerns that its use could violate existing privacy laws.
On January 15, 2015, Google announced that it would stop producing the Google Glass prototype.
The incident where an entire pub harangued and ejected someone for wearing a pair is a standout. People generally don’t want their private or public interactions and likenesses recorded or livesteamed by someone wearing a camera on their face, even though it’s less obtrusive than someone walking about with a camcorder pointing it at everyone/thing they see.
I hope they provide insurance. I’m clumsy. I might accidentally knock them off someone’s face and step on them.
This isn’t really news… We all knew this when it came out that it would collect everything it can. I mean it’s Facebook, what else would they do?
Anyone wearing those and coming up to me is getting them fucking slapped off
People say stuff like this online but it’s just dumb. These glasses intentionally look like normal ray bans so you probably wouldn’t notice. The only time I’ve noticed someone wearing them, it was a friend of mine so I’m not going to be an asshole. Are you an asshole?
Not sure it’s an asshole move to protect one’s privacy. It is, however, an asshole move to violate someone else’s privacy. Is your friend an asshole?
I think he wears them because he sometimes rides a sketchy train line late at night and he wants to be able to record if something goes down. He has normal, vision correcting lenses in them so I can’t just ask him to take them off. The best path forward to respect my friend while respecting my own privacy is to try to bring up the privacy concerns of those glasses and hope he gets the hint.
My main point is when people say things online like “if I see somebody with those I’d slap them off”. No you wouldn’t. You wouldn’t do or say anything. The person who says that online is a keyboard warrior that’s unfamiliar with real life confrontation. Your privacy is not being respected by getting into a fistfight, drawing the attention of everyone including the police. That’s not how you would solve this conflict. That’s how you become an asshole with a mugshot.

Hahahahaha!!! I love this, and am going to start using this
Regarding your friend, what I did in a similar situation was shove my friend to the ground, kick some dirt in his face, and stomp on his glasses, and he got the hint after that. Lol no. I didn’t do that. He was always live streaming to his yt account using a helmet mounted GoPro. I told him that I won’t be hanging around him when he did that, because I wasn’t comfortable with the whole thing. He heard me, and shut that off when I was around, as well as gave me heads up when he was going to be with others that I might be with (so he can be ready to shut it off when I got there, or give me the opportunity to wear my fullface mask). He was awesome. I never got the need to ls everything, but whatever, he respected those who didn’t want to be on it, and shut it off. Your friend has a better reason I think, but he should respect your desire to not be on it, and switch glasses to standard ones when you’re around (quality glasses are cheap af nowadays, if you know where to look). All I am saying, is that respect goes both ways. I didn’t suggest slapping them off his face (though I understand the sentiment lol). You seem like a good, respectful friend to him, and I hope he’s the same to you.
Is there a way to scramble this stuff?
If you see them in the wild, you can physically scramble them underneath your shoes.
