NEW CV Dazzle Looks N°6, N°7. Developed for Designs for a Different Future 2020 to break convolutional neural network face recognition. © Adam Harvey 2020.
CV Dazzle # CV Dazzle is a form of camouflage from computer vision created in 2010 as my masters thesis at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. Unlike traditional camouflage, such as disruptive-pattern material, that hides the wearer from human observation, CV Dazzle is designed to break machine vision systems while still remaining perceptible to human observers.

Stealth Wear # Collectively, Stealth Wear is a vision for fashion that addresses the rise of surveillance, the power of those who surveil, and the growing need to exert more control over privacy.
Building off previous work with CV Dazzle, camouflage from face detection, Stealth Wear continues to explore the aesthetics of privacy and the potential for fashion to challenge authoritarian surveillance technologies.
The collection is inspired by traditional Islamic dress and the idea that garments can provide a separation between man and God.

CamoFlash # The anti-paparazzi clutch. A high-power LED device to overexpose professional dSLR cameras with no delay. This project is a prototype and case study for wearable technology development.
This project began as a conceptual prototype at NYU ITP in 2008 then developed into functional prototype in 2010. The current prototype is capable of thwarting dSLR-based paparazzi attacks within 10 ft.
