Knitwear that helps evade Facial Recognition
From Italy: a clothing startup is making news for a range of garments that supposedly help you avoid being detected by facial recognition technology. To quote from one report:
An Italian clothing line, Cap_able, just released a collection of absolutely outlandish knits, all designed with the goal of fooling facial recognition software — no mask or face painting required.
The trick? Scrambled images of dogs, zebras and giraffes, knitted into the fabric with the specific goal of tricking facial scanning algorithms to identify the wrong species.
