What do you guys think about this glasses to use daily to escape Facial Recognition? Worth the price? Does it really work?

China government created a software that circumvent masks and they can profile your face even if you’re using them.
How is that even possible?
I wonder if they somehow have that technology, or just say they do in order to intimidate people.
u can unlock ur iPhone with a mask on. if apple can do it, I think the Chinese government can too
Creepy. Thanks!
Please don’t spread false information… China has been able to successfully identify citizens wearing masks for years…

Idk if regular sunglasses will prevent your face from being captured by facial recognition systems.

This seems more like an art project than a functional product. Highly doubt it’ll work
Oh yeah, We’re looking for that idiot in the stupid sunglasses, a tinfoil hat, and a fedora.
I suppose putting on a very unique pair of glasses would for sure avoid facial recognition. Why would there be a need to recognize your face if u make yourself so obviously different vs others. Haha.
A dumbass camera would be sufficient. No need for complicated facial recognition camera.
That’s not how they work. They’re highly reflective, so they block analog cameras, and they’re infrared blocking, so they stop auto focus.
But if majority wear this to prevent facial recognition, they won’t be standing out anymore.
@learningduck @chairman Great!.. so just wait for everyone else to buy these first
Haha. I am also waiting for everyone else to buy one of these.

As far as I can tell, these supposedly protect you from facial recognition because they reflect IR. I’m not an expert in security cameras, but don’t they only use IR at night? While they could technically run 24/7, that would burn out the LEDs in half the time.
These are also quite similar to the “anti-paparazi” reflective clothing. If you are interested in these as a statement piece, those might be of interest to you as well.
These seem like the developer came up with the function of the sunglasses after coming up with the sunglasses (after being inspired by the anti-paparazi clothes).
All in all, I don’t really see much value in these sunglasses; and I suppose I wouldn’t really be that concerned about facial recognition with proper masking safety, anyways.
I’m not an expert in security cameras, but don’t they only use IR at night?
Precisely. And good security cameras with Sony sensors only need IR when it’s pitch black. During dawn, dusk and summer nights at Nordic latitudes they don’t even switch to night mode, showing sharp full-color image almost 24/7—watching that footage you wouldn’t even realize that it’s taken in natural light with sun below the horizon.
And facial recognition is a standard feature these days. It’s become so good that you can have two pictures of the same person, one taken at age 15 and the other at age 95, and it can still say with >95% confidence that it’s the same person. And that’s the prosumer-level stuff available to every Jack and Joe to install to their small business or suburban house. I don’t even want to think about what the alphabet soup orgs could have access to.
I have some experience with Dahua cameras and NVR-s. Their technical capabilities are both amazing and scary at the same time.
If you live in a authoritarian country this will just put a target on your back. They will still stop and search you: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/facial-recognition-cameras-technology-london-trial-met-police-face-cover-man-fined-a8756936.html
Worth the price is subjective. Are you a wanted criminal, or planning a heist? Then probably yes. Otherwise, probably no.
I am always reminded on the scramble suit from a Scanner Darkly.
I wonder, could you get them with prescription lenses or would it defeat the purpose of the glasses?
Mate they’re ugly as hell, i won’t buy that shit
