an invisibility cloak! crazy times, maybe we can make anti-smart-glasses glasses that detect smart glasses and have an invisible beam that can target and blind

> anti-smart-glasses glasses that detect smart glasses and have an invisible beam that can target and blind the cameras I love it! I literally thought of something similar while writing the above comment, something like an EMP that disables all nearby camera sensors for 10min or so.

  I’m thinking it could be active enough to actually obscure the camera recording in real time whenever you are in the frame, like an actual beam that goes into the camera lens making the normal light intake all distorted, so it wouldn’t appear to malfunction or fail, it would just be like a refracting smudge in the feed.

    I know these below existed, but it only works against IR enabled cameras aka CCTV, but definitely they won’t against smart glasses, but I love your idea, a glass distort the lights, hmmm maybe emit IR? https://www.reflectacles.com/order/ghost https://www.reflectacles.com/order/ghost

  > an EMP that disables all nearby camera sensors for 10min or so Some years ago, there was a guy that got arrested (may have been in Chicago), for riding on the train, and running a cellphone jammer, because he hated people on the phone, while on the train. Might be considered somewhat similar. It could definitely earn you a beatdown, if someone catches you.

    How did they catch him?! I remember I read something similar of a guy having a cell jammer in his car, because he didn’t want people being busy on their phones while driving, but they caught him because the cell towers detected the jammer and eventually triangulated him, not sure about a guy in a train. On the topic: if the glasses can be impacted with anything RF, it would be an easy job, but it’s a camera, optical sensors, etc. and only an optical way could counter that, imo.

      He was sitting on the train, with it in his lap. Someone snapped a pic. Looked a bit like one of those Cradlepoint routers, with 4 antennas.

        yeah they generally look like a 3"x5" device an inch thick with antennas coming out one of the 3"x1" sides, from the ones i have seen.

  wear a hat/beanie with IR LEDs, you need a few frequencies of "IR", but it's invisible (or barely visible) to humans, but it's the same as shining a light into a sensor to a "machine". could have it built in to a jacket collar, too. you'd have to wear pants to foil gait detection, too. Something with a lot of angles and squiggles that is hard to see as "distinct" against the background.
