Privacy Visor thwarts facial-recognition tech
The Japan Times | May 13, 2016

To protect against unwanted scrutiny, trading company Nissey Corp., based in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, has developed a special visor that thwarts electronic facial recognition.
The Privacy Visor consists of a titanium glasses frame with a mesh-like screen one can see through...

...Nissey plans to start selling the Privacy Visor online for ¥36,000 by month’s end.

We developed “Privacy Visor” without power supply, which uses light absorption and reflection materials.
We established the technology to protect photographed subjects wearing it.
