Pattern That Makes You Invisible to Cameras | Tech News
Description
Bill Swearingen’s noRecognition tech turns surveillance cameras into blind spots by scrambling identification algorithms—without stopping footage. After 31 million tests, his computer-generated patterns make people and vehicles vanish from detection systems, turning them into background noise. Inspired by privacy fears and the constant watch of cameras, Swearingen debuted the tech at Def Con, successfully hiding a car from a Flock camera—even if wheels posed a minor hurdle. He’s keeping top patterns offline to stay ahead of manufacturers, while his system evolves every minute, aiming to empower those seeking to opt out of algorithmic surveillance.
