The lenses of normal sunglasses become clear under any form of infrared light, but the special wavelength absorbers baked into Urban’s glasses soak up the light and turn them black. Reflectacles’ absorbent quality makes them effective at blocking Face ID on the newest iPhones. While Urban said the glasses aren’t designed to evade facial recognition that doesn’t use infrared light, they will lessen the chance of a positive match in such systems. He believes there’s an appetite for discreet gear that maintains people’s anonymity, as shown by his Kickstarter campaign, backed by 311 people who pledged $41,315 after it launched in July.<div><br></div><div>Other forms of anti-surveillance camouflage include elaborate face paint that foils computer vision, such as the patterns designed by artist Adam Harvey. The characteristic black and white face paint worn by Juggalos, the die-hard fans of hip-hop duo Insane Clown Posse, can also block some facial-recognition systems. Designer Leo Selvaggio sacrificed his own identity for the sake of obscuring others’ by creating a mask from a 3D scan of his face. L.A.-based cybersecurity analyst Kate Rose created her own fashion line called Adversarial Fashion to obfuscate automatic license-plate readers. A clothes maker on the side, she imprinted stock images of out-of-use and fake license plates onto fabric to create shirts and dresses. When the wearers walk past the AI systems at traffic stops, the machines read the images on the clothes as plates, in turn feeding junk data into the technology.</div><div><br></div><div> <!--[if mso]>
