Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.
There are already cameras everywhere. As you walk down the street you’re probably on and average of 3 ring cameras at any time. Cars have cameras, stores have lots of cameras (the fake ones you see, and the real hidden ones). There have been pen cameras and tie clip cameras for decades. Glasses cameras aren’t really a big step.
are the prices from Capable a joke? who thefuck pays $6-700 for a pair of joggers or sweater. privacy wear should be affordable, not a luxury. it’s the wealthy class that’s making this a problem in the first place

Has Zenni gotten rid of the polarized lenses? I checked a few sunglasses and couldn’t configure them with polarized lenses…
If you’re wanting to block IR maybe look for a pair that uses the Zenni ID Guard thing? Edit: just double checked and that’s where the option is now.
How does this “anti-papparazi” thing work?
Read the linked article. It goes through a lot methods.
I did read it but still can’t grasp it.
reflective particles in the garment nullify flash photography by fucking with the exposure to wash out other elements of the subject
here’s an example photo of Trevor Noah wearing one of these scarves without and with flash:
So it only works with flash on. Not that helpful, then?
I had no idea there were so many methods
