Clothes that can completely hide the face from the infrared camera that can be seen clearly even in the dark 'The Camera Shy Hoodie'
Some security cameras are equipped with a night vision function that uses infrared rays, and the camera can clearly capture the face of a person in the dark where there is no light. Mark Pearce, who learns about art and technology at the University of Idaho, has developed clothes ' The Camera Shy Hoodie ' to avoid having his face photographed by such an infrared camera.

The image of the surveillance camera equipped with infrared night vision function is reflected.
A brightly glowing object appears at the back door.
A luminous object that opens the door and enters the backyard.
It was the face part of the person that was emitting light.
In the footage taken with a normal camera, it looks like a man wearing a normal black hoodie.
However, if you look closely, there are multiple holes around the shoulder of the hoodie. This hoodie is The Camera Shy Hoodie, and 12 high-power infrared strobes are embedded under the holes.
The diameter of the hole is only 3/8 inch (about 0.95 cm) and it is hardly noticeable even from a distance. In addition, the infrared strobe emits infrared rays with a wavelength of 850 nm, so the light from the strobe is invisible to the human eye.
The small board in The Camera Shy Hoodie is powered via USB and controls the infrared strobe.
Put The Camera Shy Hoodie on a mannequin, put it in a dark place, and shoot with an infrared night vision camera. When the infrared strobe is not emitting light, the mannequin's face is clearly visible on the camera.
When the infrared strobe emits light, the infrared night vision camera captures the light, so the light covered the face and made it invisible.
Mr. Pierce distributes the parts list, design drawing and assembly guide of The Camera Shy Hoodie free of charge on his site.
