I don't get how near IR is able to distort facial recognition software. Let's say I have a camera that cannot record in IR range, just the full spectrum. I can still run a facial recognition software using those photos. I am well and truly lost about how it works
Wouldn't some old fashioned mirrored aviator glasses work just as well.
As someone who's worked with computer vision, I doubt this is fully effective. It might prevent an exact match, but a good facial recognition algorithm can still whittle down the total possibilities. That's because your cheeks, ears and nose are also used as identifying features. The only effective cover is something that covers whole face.
I know who that is! That's the guy with the funny glasses! Technology like this does not prevent recognition unless lots of people are using it. One glance at the glasses, and I doubt there will be much uptake.

Almost all image sensors see near IR very well. Most consumer lens block IR very well, to make image similar to that perceived by human. Not so for CCTV lens: they don't block IR to allow human-invisible lighting via LEDs just like in these glasses.
