Wouldnât a bank of infrared ledâs work too? Most sensors these days have an infrared filter over them but I think you can still overpower them with enough juice.
If it does work, saves you having to bother with a targeted defense, and itâs going to be harder for people to notice what youâre doing. Also, it would work for all digital cameras.
i hope i never see someone wearing them, because i will make some kind of poor irrational decision.
I like the Heisenberg hat. Nice touch.
Haha reminds me of that lovely mosquito hat that you wrote about in one of your books!
Though pointing lasers at peoples eyes is frowned upon for unknown reasonsâŚ
My thoughts too. Arenât there people out there already making infrared hat countermeasures to combat CCTV and paparazzi? I do know that thereâs groups who do special makeup to foil facial recognition systems. Think 80âs cyberpunk done badly. Youâll stand out in a crowd but no system can identify you as human.
Yeah, canât say that I think threatening physical harm to people who wear Glass is âbringing the funnyâ. As an owner of Glass, I may be biased, but Iâm pretty sure aiming lasers at faces is unsafe and immoral whether the person is wearing Glass or not.
This is my least favorite part of owning Glassâthe part where people think itâs OK to name-call and threaten physical harm. Iâm wearing a computer on my face, not committing war crimes or killing Trayvon Martin. Time to rethink your priorities a bit.
Look i am not a violent person but since Google has been shown to be in bed with the NSA⌠Iâve chilled rather greatly on Glass as a platform. Iâd have ot ask you to take the thing off if youâre around me. I"m not doing anything i wonât want people to see but itâs one of those âdude youâre walking around in full gargoyle mode full time. stoppit.â
But thatâs not true. I canât shoot video full time. The battery would die. Hell, ten minutes on a Google Hangout and my battery dropped 20% and the Glass heated up so much I started to sweat. Besides, use an ATM or go into a Starbucks or walk down the street in any city and youâre going to appear on camera. Odds are, I wonât be recording you, but odds are all those other cameras are.
Funny how all this technology that comes straight from star trek weâve been wanting since Next Gen came out and now that itâs showing up we (or at least I) are going 'hey waitaminute the people coming up with htis stuff arenât nearly as altruistic as the Federation⌠are we ready?
Actually, this is the âBlack Hatâ character, a frequent character on XKCD, who pre-dates Breaking Bad. More info on him here, if you really care: http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Black_Hat
