This Pattern Turns You Into a Camera's Blind Spot
Kansas City security researcher Bill Swearingen just debuted noRecognition at Def Con, a computer-generated pattern that, slapped on clothes or a car, doesn't stop cameras from filming you, it stops their AI from recognizing you exist. After 31 million tests, his patterns scrambled license plate readers and facial recognition systems in a live vehicle demo, effectively letting anyone opt out of America's ever-expanding surveillance net just by wearing the right print. Privacy advocates, meet your new hoodie.
Nothing says 2026 like fighting the surveillance state with a funky t shirt pattern.
