- An Italian startup has created a clothing line that aims to trick facial-recognition cameras.
- It uses patterns created by algorithms to fool cameras into thinking the wearer is not human.
- The clothes can make you look like a giraffe, zebra, or dog in the eyes of surveillance cameras.
Facial-recognition technology is everywhere. It’s used by police, airports, supermarkets, stadiums, and more — and it’s making some people fear that governments or big companies could use our data in malicious ways.
In response, privacy-focused designers have tried to create things we can wear that outsmart facial-recognition technology. The Italian startup Cap-able is the latest to join this trend.
