Step 5Drop your suit on the public!

Drop your suit on the public!
Here are three different spaces you can start to be recognized, without compromising your identity.

Taking your invisibility suit to the streets opens up dialogue with the public about how important it is that we stay aware of our privacy rights, as well as feel protected and safe.

In the second video, for night time interactions I added reflective tape to the suit. Any thing is fine, as long as you are able to achieve a pixilation effect.

The video depicting the subway monitor shows how you might show acknowledgement of being surveilled, you'll probably have to gesture or act out to the camera that you would like to come to an agreement on how much of your data should stay protected.

Once again, here is the video of a pixelated figure/ image which this project is imitating

But that just makes people in public think your a little wack......no insult intended here. Personaly, I think it might be more interesting to make a suit that appears to be normal everyday attire, but shows up on security cameras as a pixelatted or blacked out. For example. Take a hat, shirt, pants, and cover them with IR leds. That way, the majority of security cameras would see you as a big white spot walking by. You may even be able to hide the leds under the clothing since IR light passes right through most fabrics. This would send a clear message to "big brother" without having to explain yourself to everyone in the streets. It would be interesting to wear such a thing around, and see how long it takes before you're questioned.......probably not too long. I do like your concept though.

that guy didn't know what he was doing. He used IR LEDs with a low angle output. some have a low angle output of about 5 to 10 degrees, but they do make high angle output more like 80 degrees or more. That way the IR covers a broad area instead of being focused. there are also other wyas to disperse the light by using lenses. you just have to put some thought into it.

i agree the suit is very conspicuous there has to be a better way to do this with a more easily forged & embedded material there is probally a good way to do completley scramble with low current electromagnetic fields

I fail to see the reason for wearing this suit, the way it's constructed I feel you might just wear a ski mask and a hoody, you covered your face anyway in almost the same manner.
