AVG MADE A CAMERA CONFUSING GLASS WHICH FOOLS FACIAL RECOGNITION

In today's world wherever you go these days there's a camera which you have to face, whether it's a paparazzi lens, a CCTV at any building or the millenials at the next table on their umpteenth selfie. So AVG has come up with shocking invention of a pair of camera-confusing glasses that thwart prevent's invasion of your face.

Security software developong company AVG showed off the privacy glasses here at Mobile World Congress, the annual trade show where the top brands ofindustry gathers to show off their latest innovations regarding phones, tablets, wearables and other mobile-related ephemera. The AVG specs aren't a real working consumer product yet, they're simply a concept, and a fairly simple one.

The frame of the glass have infrared LEDs in it, continually beaming out invisible IR light. Invisible to the human eye, that is; but that IR light stop those infrared filters in smartphone cameras. As a result, the camera's facial recognition can't work out that it's looking at a face. And it can't recognise your face to automatically tag you.

The IR light coming from the glasses create's serious distortions in the final image, partially obscuring your face. If a flash is used in taking picture, tthan things get even worse for the photographer because the front of the glasses are covered in a reflective coating that creates even more face-obscuring glare.

You'd probably have to make sure that rights of personal privacy -- or on the run -- to walk around wearing glasses like these all the time. But it's certainly a idea for taking back a bit of personal space in these ever-connected times of surveillance and security.

AVG has creates a serious issue for security camera's makers as they would have to find a new way to deal with this masterclass from AVG
