National Institute of Informatics announces eyeglasses that help users protect their privacy by disabling facial-recognition systems in cameras.
The glasses appear to be a completely passive device, and said to rely on "
unique angles and patterns on its lens that reflect or absorb light. This prevents the recognition systems in digital cameras and smartphones from spotting a human face in a shot and focusing on it."
“
The Privacy Visor is the world’s first product with this technology,” the institute’s Professor Isao Echizen said. “
We are often told not to unveil our personal information to others, but our faces are also a type of an ID. There should be a way to protect that.” Tests with cameras on smartphones showed that the eyeglasses were able to trick the facial-recognition system 90% of the time.
