Designers are producing ‘adversarial’ styles meant to scramble surveillance cameras
The future’s so invasive, you gotta wear shades. As Meta and Ray-Ban push their Kylie Jenner-fronted smart glasses — the kind that can film your perspective walking down the street, Shazam a song playing next to you and (allegedly) recognize a stranger’s face in a crowd — a growing group of both New York eyewear brands and designers is barking back with sunglasses that block surveillance software and biometric data scans entirely. Translation? “We’re making a firewall for your face,” Nate Troxell, the general manager of Solir Optics, a Glen Falls, NY brand that’s been selling “anti-facial recognition” sunglasses ranging between $70 and $100 after receiving requests from customers, told The Post.
