For women it might be easier if the LEDs are built into a hair accessory like a hairband. Less of a social stigma than a baseball cap. Glasses work too of course. (Heh. I used Wikipedia to verify the spelling of 'hair band', but ended up on a page about Glam Metal.)

  As if men can't walk around with some led-outfitted metal heads.

  It might also be useful under the belt, e.g. on skirts or underwears, to thwart upskirting attempts.

    Naomi Wu (@realsexycyborg) recently demo'd a "downskirt" cam for similar purposes. It basically shows the back of the legs and functions like a back-up camera on a vehicle. https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/1038961978168029184 https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/103896197816802918...

Thank you for giving me a compelling reason to try this. I have a stash of IR LEDs lying about and I've been intending to experiment with and IR-decorated hat for a good while now, but basically been too lazy. Now I have to try it!

  You're gonna notice security guards following you while talking on the radio the minute you turn it on, but God bless you.

  Depending on your stash, why stopping at the hat? You can go full body IR and with a good IR-sensible camera you can achieve some nice (and fake and youtube-clicky) "poltergeist" videos!
