These glasses can fool facial recognition technology

Nowadays, many places in urban areas are under surveillance by cameras. Although it is beneficial to people's personal and property safety, on the other hand, the leakage of personal privacy is inevitable. With the further development of face recognition technology, people's privacy in public areas is also at risk. Not only the cameras of government authorities, but also some private enterprises can collect clear facial images in their own cameras. Let's follow the editor of Home Electronics to learn about the relevant content.

    Nowadays, many places in urban areas are under surveillance by cameras. Although it is beneficial to people's personal and property safety, on the other hand, the leakage of personal privacy is inevitable. With the further development of face recognition technology, people's privacy in public areas is also at risk. Not only the cameras of government authorities, but also some private enterprises can collect clear facial images through their own cameras.

    On the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, a pair of sunglasses called Eko appeared. The purpose is to prevent illegal cameras from stealing user privacy. Like some other wearable devices with similar functions, the principle of glasses to prevent cameras from secretly photographing is to reflect light. Most surface reflective materials will reflect light in all directions, while the custom materials on the top of the frame and the temples of Eko will reflect the light back along the original path.

    When the flash of the surveillance camera is turned on, Eko can reflect light to the camera sensor with a very low light loss rate, resulting in underexposure of the image and inability to recognize the user's face, so there is no way to take a clear frontal face photo. Currently, Eko is priced at US$45 (approximately RMB 311) on the crowdfunding website.
