So I guess the world is going to turn into a Renaissance Venice, but with masks made out of retro reflector makeup and IR LED wearbles instead of papier mache and mystery.
Speakeasy bars in faraday cages that pulse you with an EMP at the door would be cool too. We could also just stop non consensual surveillance of everyone and everything . I prefer that option.
What I'd be really interested in is an anti-surveillance device that utterly dazzles cameras so as to make it impossible to track camera to camera who you are / where you're going. Combine that with the occasional costume change and you've become extremely difficult to track.
This is really cool, but in countries with utterly pervasive surveillance (e.g. Taiwan), this wouldn't really stop someone with access to all the cameras (i.e., the government) from tracking down who you are. They'd just hop camera to camera (they're literally EVERYWHERE) until you used your train card, or got onto a vehicle you own, or walk into your house.

Gait detection makes these tricks useless.
There's just as much evidence for my argument as for yours. I'm really sick of people going 'heh, gait analysis' in place of an argument. It doesn't work under many conditions, and the science behind it is not exactly rock solid.

What about just having fewer cameras

Or sufficient adoption will make governments adopt a quite cheap (and even potentially profitable) solution: make obfuscation through such means illegal and subject to fine. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a liberal reading of existing laws in many US states might over this already.
Yep. It's similar to people who count on crypto to solve government interference in finance. You can't solve a culture of pervasive government surveillance by inventing new tech, because that tech will just be outlawed or regulated to death (see the UK online safety bill). You have to change the culture that makes governments think they have the right to see everything.
I call bs. New regulation moves slower that the rate at which people can find workarounds
