I’ve been thinking for a little while that it might be interesting to build on a pair of glasses with a couple IR LEDs at either edge and a battery pack to light them up. I can’t decide if that would be good to wear to a protest because the glare would likely obscure your entire face to cameras, or if it would be a bad idea because you’d stick out immediately on any surveillance.
Yeah but:

So you’re saying we need to make plans and soldering parties with all of our new friends. That’s a good plan, actually.
That would probably be more effective as a form of protest against such technologies.

These glasses are pricey tho, so maybe DIY based on the hoodie https://www.reflectacles.com/#home
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

I don’t even know if it would work. Most cameras have an IR filter they use during the day.
