Anti-surveillance mask lets you pass as someone else
- gweinberg 12y agoTitle statement is absolutely false. This mask makes you look like an inhabitant of the uncanny valley.
- Goosey 12y agoIt's not false. It states in the article that the mask has passed Facebook's facial recognition to match as the artist. Of course we can't know if this will pass a government facial recognition system, but the point isn't "confuse humans" it is "confuse machines".
- hyperpape 12y agoDoes the surveillance camera see you as an inhabitant of the uncanny valley? Probably not yet. The real question is how quickly surveillance systems will get smart enough to mark these masks as not real.
- kingkawn 12y agoThis is not protection. It is a creative way of giving in.
- ipsin 12y agoHas anyone here actually tried wearing a mask in public for any length of time? I've done it for a day on public transit. Oddly, people seemed more likely to ask me for help, but I'm not sure what it would be like if I tried it for a year.
