What do you guys think about this glasses to use daily to escape Facial Recognition? Worth the price? Does it really work?
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
I prefer dazzle paint. It looks way more badass.
It doesn’t need to be as dramatic as this. The goal is simply to obscure key parts of the face that are commonly used for individualization. Between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, jawline, eye tilt, etc are all common key data points that facial recognition systems use to differentiate between similar faces. You can also try to avoid facial detection from pinging you in the first place, by obscuring the expected oval head shape. Style your hair asymmetrically, have bangs that droop over one eye, break up the expected round shape, use a color that mismatches your skintone, etc…
Your face paint is definitely an extreme example of the latter. But the important part is that some may actually still be able to detect a face (even if it can’t positively identify them) because they didn’t do anything to obscure the head shape or obscure at least one of their eyes.
Please don’t spread false information… China has been able to successfully identify citizens wearing masks for years…
China government created a software that circumvent masks and they can profile your face even if you’re using them.
How is that even possible?
I wonder if they somehow have that technology, or just say they do in order to intimidate people.
My understanding is that typical N95 masks may not prevent facial recognition. Different systems have different performance but many will work successfully with a masked subject. The position of the eyes are one of the key inputs to many facial recognition systems.
The only thing they block is the eyes, nothing is obscured otherwise, their own demos on their website show that.
I personally won’t be wasting my money, if I want to obscure my face I’ll wear a face mask and color contacts like I already do.
but if we combine the glasses with a mask maybe we have a good approach, right?
I suggest balaclava with ski mask. Or this. https://medieval-armour.com/images/stories/virtuemart/product/002_2-03_lrg_so.jpg
