Digital Camouflage Shirt Fools AI Surveillance Cameras
Simon Weckert's pattern disrupts computer vision while appearing normal to human eyes.
TLDR
German artist Simon Weckert created Digital Camouflage, a bright Hawaiian shirt whose pattern is meant to prevent AI-powered cameras from recognizing the wearer as a person. Multiple accounts report that the shirt appears hypnotic to human eyes but registers as nothing to the models. The project targets surveillance systems that tag people in public spaces. Posts from NEXTA, Futurism, and First Squawk describe the shirt as already unveiled by the artist.

OS Oliver S@oliverai_music@GlenGilmore Wearing the shirt, obviously. But seriously, when privacy becomes something you have to physically camouflage rather than something systems respect, that's the actual problem.
