Question

Gait de-profiling/haptics, face anti-recog/avatar makeup

I'm angry with the NSA so I spent about 60 seconds thinking about how to screw their s**t up. Came up with a concept for full-body VR haptics suits and quick-apply latex-like face masks. These would let you look and act like your avatar IRL. The haptic suit has a selection of programs casually stimulate your muscles to improve your fitness and move in an attractive way, while also making your gait conform to the gait of everybody else with a similar suit and program. This prevents profiling from gait.
The concept includes a make-up device like the one from the movie 5th Element, but it applies a face mask that makes you look like your avatar.

This combination is very marketable while also preventing mass-profiling and surveillance. If you hate em', spread the idea. :twisted:

    AFAIK facial recognition algorr . . algorhy . . um software uses metrics not easily maskable with cosmetics or prosthetics, such as (ironically enough) inter-pupillary distance combined with nostril placement etc.

    The best way to be safe from the NSA is to never do or believe anything they disagree with.

    But I do like your idea of changing your real-world appearance to match your avatar. Personally, I'm one of those guys who likes playing as a female (empowered, not slutty of course).

    Ah... that does make sense. Tricky.

    I'd like cleansing their kind from the planet. They are destructive enough to warrant this.


    Plan B is to poison the well: Get imagery of known persons of interest, reconstruct them in 3D, and insert their biometrics into e.g. videos that you re-upload to youtube. This could be aided by simple tools that let you add these virtual characters like actors into your own productions. - Can't pick up a signal from the noise if everything looks like signal.
