Isn’t that very expensive?

Is their goal letting people avoid facial recognition, or is that just a marketing tactic and their goal is to maximize profits?

> The algorithm on the textile hinders the object recognition software’s capabilities, causing it to not recognize the person wearing this garment. Instead, it recognizes the textile as nothing, a “zebra”, or a “giraffe”.

That’s just inaccurate; it would be more accurate to say: the pattern on the textile may cause some algorithms (which ones? how often?) to misbehave.

I think it’s really art, and is priced like it.
When I hear "art" I think "scam".

But maybe it's just me…

Either way that would be preventing body detection not face detection.

I’m pretty sure it’s going to fine your face just fine
