The company uses a technological system capable of transposing images, called adversarial patches, onto a knitted fabric that can be used to dupe people detectors in real time.

Wearing one of the items with the adversarial image woven in can protect the biometric data of a person's face. It means that it will either be undetectable, or associated with an incorrect category, such as animals. Examples used include dogs, zebras and giraffes.

the fabric has been tested with YOLO, the most common and fastest real-time object detection system.

But I always wanted to pretend I was a marine biologist (not a giraffe)!

[Texas resident]

On most weekends, I identify as a sloth. Or a beached whale.

Sometimes I’m a horndog.

[DouglasKC]

That’s pretty cool. But detecting a giraffe in a city is going to be a huge red flag.

Did you hear about the blonde who had a pet zebra named Spot?

I resemble that remark!

Wonder if you wore the giraffe outfit at the City Zoo, if the security people would go on a hunt for the “escapee”?

"Fashion firm claims its clothing can hide you from surveillance cameras by tricking them into thinking you're an animal"

looks to me like it's pretty effective:

[M_Continuum]

That doesn’t protect from drones that can identify you top down. Head size, ears et al. You also wouldn’t want Ai to see a wild animal in the midst of NYC, that’d be a red flag.
This will be the new fad, like tattoo-ing your face to avoid identification, but doesn’t actually work.

[I want the USA back]

The furry people should run out and buy one.

When we get Jethro Tull in any thread, we’re doing a great job as FReepers.

People are animals, members of a group of vertebrate animals in the the class Mammalia.
