Sleeping with the enemy? New reflective glasses make people "invisible" under the camera

 

Reference News Network reported on January 18 that foreign media said,

 

With a new device, criminals can commit crimes under camera surveillance.

 

According to a report on the website of the British Daily Mail on December 28, 2016,

 

Purpose-built reflective glasses, which blur images from closed-circuit television surveillance (CCTV) systems, have now met their crowdfunding targets.

 

The device, called "Reflectacles", is able to reflect light off the wearer's face.

 

Thus improving the wearer's vision and confusing the infrared sensor of the security camera.

The glasses cost between ￡78 and ￡100 ($95 to $125),

 

It is designed to "erase our faces", even in low-light conditions.

 

Cyclists and runners can use these glasses to improve visibility at night.

 

On the U.S. public fundraising website platform "Initiator" website,

 

"Reflectacles" recently surpassed its crowdfunding target of ￡23,000 ($28,000).

 

The project has now raised ￡26,000 (US$32,000).

 

There are still 60 hours available to raise as much money as possible.

 

Scott Urban, a 35-year-old Chicago-based designer, claims that the glasses are made of microprism-shaped regressive reflective material.

 

In a sales pitch video for the glasses, he said:

 

"This material is the most reflective material available."

 

Urbane told a website:

 

"There are a lot of people who are doing things that circumvent surveillance."

 

He said:

 

"As a result of the Snowden revelations and the emergence of WikiLeaks,

 

People are starting to realize that everything they do is being monitored. ”

 

But the glasses may help criminals evade security camera surveillance.

 

Unless the criminals can be identified from the images, it is useless to take videos of illegal activities.

 

Urbane claims he will make hundreds of pairs of the glasses for his crowdfunding backers.

 

He plans to continue selling the glasses on his website rather than in a retail store.
