    400-700 for a single article of clothing with no mention of what facial recognition software this affects, how effective it is and what is the failure rate, error bounds, etc. Sounds like a scam.

      I wouldn’t call it a “scam” just manipulative marketing. This stuff doesn’t seem like it’d work for any of the modern facial recognition options, but that’s just a guess. If it did work well and they were proud of it, you can be sure that’d be part of the marketing, so it at best is mediocre if not useless.

        So I don’t know if you guys actually read the article or not but they absolutely DO claim that it works against YOLO which they claim to be the most popular recognition software. I don’t know about how factual any of that is, but they do make the statement.

          Not who you asked, but I think some might argue that it would be a scam if you ordered it and it didn’t arrive or something like that. If it works against one facial recognition model than technically it is just bad marketing. Either way is bad, though.
