Whoever builds a wearable “sparkler” that is able to disrupt digital cameras or the underlying tech in a way that doesn’t require the user to wear a large scarf or similar is going to really usher in an interesting part of history.

It's like trying to hide an airplane from radars by broadcasting megawatts of broadband noise; possible but not particularly useful.
- justaman 5y agoOne of the many benefits of facial coverings in 2020 and beyond. Its not perfect but its a solution until we get a "sparkler".

- mabbo 5y agoYour face is just one of a myriad of things that can be recognized and tracked. There are so many facets of the human body which can all be combined. Can't see your face? Who cares- I can see how far apart your eyes are, how tall you are, your shoulder-to-elbow length, your walking speed, and your approximate weight.

- gruez 5y agoAFAIK those only work because cheap cameras lack IR filters, for both cost-cutting and night-vision reasons. More advanced cameras have IR filters, rendering such devices useless.
