The Camera-Shy Hoodie is an open-source DIY adversarial garment designed to give the user the option to anonymize themselves within the recording of a night vision security camera. By embedding IR-LEDs of the same type used in security cameras and strobing them back at the same cameras, the head of the wearer is then significantly obfuscated.
