Nice goal, but its a "wicked problem". For example, I don't think this will do anything for "face privacy" if you travel out of the EU. If someone snaps and uploads your face to a database like findclone.ru, how will this help finding and deleting that information from an out of scope database? Counter-intuitively, I think we need much better tools that enable us to actively search the entire Internet for our face, and only then can we begin to fix how to reset that data back to null.



There used to be a device you could wear on your head that would "disrupt" any CCTV, and the like, cameras, but I believe the newer cameras have fixed that "hole". I would like something like that now, some device I cold wear on a headband that would prevent my face from being properly recorded.


Face shields with IR illumination will likely wash out your face. It’s socially acceptable right now, too.


IR filter can take care of that. We are going to enter an arms race soon enough.


Where can I buy that marvel?
