Apparently A Lot Of People,

are concerned at facial recognition cameras,


 and the numbers of them being employed, so Polish designer Ewa Nowak designed metal jewelry to thwart growing facial recognition technologies, Her project, Incognito, was born out of her own uneasiness about the global state of privacy, and was tested using Facebook’s DeepFace algorithm to ensure its success, what a neat idea,

 the implement is worn like glasses, with arms reaching around the wearer’s ears. Two round pieces of metal cover each cheek, and an elongated piece extends upward between the eyes, creating a trifecta of polished objects that help deflect software used IRL in security systems and public cameras, and online through social media, Incognito recently won the Mazda Design Award at the Łódź Design Festival, You can see more of her projects, including a reflective mask also used as a way to keep one’s anonymity, on her website and Instagram

so let me make sure I have got this correct, you do not want to stand out in a crowd, so you wear something that is guaranteed to make you stand out in  a crowd? and here is a thing, if you go through any counties immigration system that takes facial photographs, do you really think the immigration official checking your passport will let you wear this as the photograph is being taken? no thought not!
