What do you guys think about this glasses to use daily to escape Facial Recognition? Worth the price? Does it really work?

Are these not just glasses blocking IR? I didn’t look too much into them, but looking at the lenses. Looks like IR blocking lenses.
What.
This seems more like an art project than a functional product. Highly doubt it’ll work
Oh yeah, We’re looking for that idiot in the stupid sunglasses, a tinfoil hat, and a fedora.

That’s a sick Raving outfit
I wonder, could you get them with prescription lenses or would it defeat the purpose of the glasses?

Okay. Who’s doing the PDF deep dive and letting us know how this works in TL;DR format?
You take the image recognization machine, and you run the output of your own algorithm through it, training your algorithm to value patterns that confuse the first machine.
I wouldn’t trust this to work against updated machine learning algorithms.
Tl;dr It stops the ai from being able to recognize you as a person so it can’t tell that your face is a face.
Yeah, got that. But how does it work? How does it stop ai from working, it’s what I’m asking
Apparently it mix up human patterns
I read somewhere that during covid there was a big shift in recognition techniques to overall facial morphology & gait recognition.
I’ll try & find an article. Mask up & keep a coin in your shoe.
If you keep a coin in your shoe everywhere you go then you will have the same gait regardless, everywhere you go.
Take the coin out when you’re doing sneaky shit.
The purpose is not to avoid profiling while doing “sneaky shit”. I don’t do “sneaky shit”. The point is to avoid being profiled.
Then learn to walk without rhythm
But what if I still want to attract the worm, while still foiling gait recognition technology?
Probably stock up on shoes with different sole & treadhight. Flipflops one day, combat boots the next. Or identical shoes with different amounts of wear on the bottom, vary your leg height & you’ll adjust your posture to compensate. Might be able to get away with just carrying really heavy shit in only one of your pockets. Anything sensitive enough to track small signifiers in stride length & foot pronation would hopefully be easy to juke by that same sensitivity.

These days people can be identified by just their gait.
Ministry for Silly Walks, wouldn’t have thought that would be useful one day…
Worth the price is subjective. Are you a wanted criminal, or planning a heist? Then probably yes. Otherwise, probably no.
Maybe you just want to look sick at the next rave.
Not their intended purpose, but that’s the only one that doesn’t sound stupid
Edit: looking at their website, that might be their intended target audience.
Or maybe attending a protest in China?
I would definitely want something more than these glasses in that case, but that’s another possible use for them for sure.

This is also how we stop our biggest abusers of our service. They leave such a unique fingerprint from all our other customers, we just quietly shadowban them.
What service, if I may ask, is it that you run?
I am always reminded on the scramble suit from a Scanner Darkly.
Any sources to back up that a vague amount of infrared of the eye region is so meaningfully essential to face recognition systems? My sunglasses reflect most visible light, and they reflect some infrared light, and they cost $5. Even granting that very shaky claim, infrared blocking materials aren’t that expensive, this seems like a gimmick to make up for big prices.
A mask and any sunglasses or hat will prevent facial recognition 1000x better I suspect.
Dunno what those cost, but a pair of IR blocking safety glasses are like 15 bucks or less, blend in a whole lot better, and won’t make you stand out like a shining beacon in video.
Someone said it was to disrupt autofocus
Mate they’re ugly as hell, i won’t buy that shit
If you live in a authoritarian country this will just put a target on your back. They will still stop and search you: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/facial-recognition-cameras-technology-london-trial-met-police-face-cover-man-fined-a8756936.html
Typical Europe
Lol what? The met aren’t even representative of policing in the UK, let alone the rest of Europe!
