Japanese scientists invent ‘privacy visor’ to fool Google’s facial recognition software

“A ‘privacy visor’ that uses infra-red light to interfere with facial recognition technology has been developed in Japan for people worried about being spotted by computers.  The goggles are useful for anyone who wants to avoid their identity being detected by hidden cameras, the inventors say.  The goggles, which are made of clear plastic, have lines of lights that emit near infra-red rays. Echizen says this is enough to throw software off the scent, rendering a face invisible to a computer.”
