- The Camera-Shy Hoodie is a DIY garment designed to anonymize the wearer in night vision security camera recordings.
- It uses high-power IR LEDs that strobe at a wavelength matching security camera floodlights, causing overexposure and loss of image definition.
- The LEDs are placed around the upper body to obscure the wearer's head, remaining invisible to human eyes but effective against IR-sensitive cameras.
- Includes a full DIY package with materials, design files, assembly guide, and high-resolution images.
- Featured in Motherboard, Popular Science, and Hackaday, highlighting its innovative approach to privacy.
- Available for pre-order as a kit with custom electronics, with an option to donate to support open-source projects.
