Wearable Adversarial Fashion for Evading Facial Recognition Surveillance
Problem
Users want to preserve privacy while being monitored by facial recognition systems, seeking a fashionable way to evade identification, but current methods are hard to obtain or lack social acceptability.
Pain points
- Desire to evade facial recognition surveillance
- Existing adversarial tools (e.g., stickers, masks) are difficult to purchase or lack fashion appeal
- Need to integrate adversarial technology with everyday outfits
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to purchase a fashion product specifically designed to evade facial recognition?
- Does your current surveillance system include facial recognition?
- Do you prefer using localized stickers, masks, or full-body garments for evasion?

There is a weak component to facial recognition systems that can be exploited to make one invisible to facial recognition, but you stick out like a sore thumb to people. The exploit is to not have a human face, meaning the regular pattern of two eyes centered above a nose and mouth. The exploit is as simple as placing a sticker of a 3rd eye, a 2nd nose, or any other facial feature that is "not human" and you will be invisible to facial recognition.

I hope designs like this become easier to purchase soon. It'd be fun to experiment with cameras I've got access to and I'd totally wear it out places on the weekend.

The most effective socially acceptable mechanism is a burqa or COVID mask or motorcycle helmet sock.
