Also I just had an idea. Jncos. Y’all remember those big ass wide pants?
I bet it’s pretty difficult for accurate gait measurements to be taken from pants that swim around you.
Be like wearing a big fluffy skirt.
We could bring back jncos!
Think of the pocket space! Don’t you miss being able to carry a small laptop in your back pocket? I do.
Add a dazzle pattern on them and you are basically invisible.
Yeah I’ve seen those and they certainly would.

Kinda like how the Boston tea party did by dressing up as natives except without the racism.
It’s not a bad tactic.
So the movement gait tracking would likely be impacted by this. Almost certainly. Since it heavily relies on leg movements and stride distance, even wearing a pair of dazzle pants with a regular shirt could, in theory, do a decent job.
But not sure if there is any research on it. I’ll have to look into this.
As for painting the face in this pattern. It’s less likely to work. Because facial recognition looks for specific feature ratios and ignores the rest. (However wearing a mesh scarf covering the face (no eye holes,) with the pattern, would be successful). But any mesh pattern would do this.
Those geometric artistic face makeup guides you see are worthless. There is actual research on that.
They don’t work.
But what does work is altering the ratios of your eyes. Because that’s what facial recognition software mostly uses.
Wear sunglasses that also block infrared. Easiest.
Wear colored contact lenses that expand the size of your iris. Quite a lot do. Especially costume ones. Average iris is around 9-11mm. Costume colored lenses range from 13-15mm. You can even get some that completely cover the whites of the eyes. Tho I hear they are uncomfortable.
Use makeup tricks to make your eyes look longer or taller. There are anime makeup tutorials that do just that.
Add age lines. Research shows that older faces and faces with age lines added with paint/makeup , really screw up recognition.
Be black. Recognition software has a lot of false matches for African Americans. Especially African American women.
I mean yeah I agree. High school is a good place to learn adult skills. But it’s not been used for that in a long time.
I think college or tech school is still incredibly valuable. I think people need more education than k-12.
If a job can be done by someone with a high school diploma only, it can be done by a machine or a computer.
Human minds are capable of so much more. I genuinely believe most people are capable of being experts at something. Of being exceptional at something. But they don’t get the chance to find out what that is when higher education is unavailable to them.
I think most people need higher education past high school. It’s not just for specializing either.
It’s the skills of self discipline and using tools. Resources.
Navigating professional interactions. And of course, critical thinking which is something that needs to be fostered for longer periods of time.
This isn’t taught in k-12. It’s actually discouraged in k-12.
Talk to 18 year olds. They are practically babies. They can’t do anything. They need more time to develop.
Also you should question why people like the GOP and heritage foundation really really want to keep people from getting a higher education.
Dont align yourself with their agenda. There are very good reasons why restricting higher education will make us more easily manipulated and submissive.
There are reasons why higher education is related to being a socialist and in support of equality. And against fascism. And it’s not indoctrination.
Razzle dazzle camouflage!
I’m genuinely surprised so many people are familiar with this.
It’s something talked about in perception courses/classes.
The lines make it difficult for humans and machines to accurately gauge depth perception.
For humans it’s related to mach bands. And the way lateral inhibition works.

Higher education is necessary. Most kids coming out of high school are incapable of almost anything except basic labor jobs. As our industries get more complex, skilled trained people are more and more necessary.
Certificates/degrees are incredibly valuable.
There are base skills everyone learns from an associates degree regardless of the focus.
Like adult skills. Managing time. Being responsible. Learning how to interact with others professionally. Learning to write better. And some better math skills.
Most plastic lightens and becomes “milky” when stressed.
Yeah in the slicer you can add “pause at layer”. What slicing software do you use? For Bambu and prusa, you just go to the preview, roll through the layers to find the one before it closes up. And right click on the little icon dot thing on the slider that shows the layers. On the right side. And you get an option to “pause at layer”.
Just make a cavity in your print. Pause before it closes up. Drop the weight in. Penny or nuts. Also I pause and put in some glue when I drop it in so it doesn’t roll around inside.
You could also make cutouts for pennies or nuts on the bottom and glue them in after the print finishes.
There is a Lego phone holder that does the cavity.

Hope that helps.
I made this. Used nuts cause I didn’t have any pennies. Worked pretty well.
There are pictures in the description. So check those out.
Hadn’t heard of this. I’ll check it out. Fusion has been a bit intimidating. Ive made a few things in it but found it confusing and not intuitive like tinkercad.
I think Ive spent all my energy on learning Blender and not much left to dedicate to a better CAD program.
Sculpting. Yeah that requires a high end PC.
I have a 12g GPU. 64gb ram. Ddr5. Ryzen 7 CPU.
And it still struggles some times, mostly when using the bolean modifer (the one that combines parts or makes cutouts). Which is something you will use a lot for 3d printing model design.
If you aren’t sculpting, but just cad stuff. You should use a different program.
Blender can do some of that but why not use a software designed for cad. ?
Blender isn’t a cad program.
Also I posted a recent 3d project a month ago. (My lastest post). Most of the was made in blender.
I ended up with 3 blender files. 7gb each. For various parts.
Because of the complexity of the model and making it fit mechanical parts there was multiple versions of each part.
All high resolution.
I had to keep making new files cause after the files get around 8gb , then everything is a slog to do in the software. So I had a head file. A body file. And a inside parts file.
No one could make that cat clock on a PC with out high specs. Impossible.
Start with tinkercad. Upgrade to fusion 360. For sculpting , blender.
To use blender you need a high end PC. Like a gaming PC.
Fusion and blender are both incredibly complex softwares that do a lot of things and take a lot of invested time to learn but there are tons of tutorial videos and online communities for both.
Most people don’t want to use a 3rd party slicer or switch out the screen.
The Bambu studio slicer and screens that come with the printers both work well.
I really doubt they try to restrict filament brands. No one does that.
Their brand nozzles are the same price as 3rd party ones.
And personally I’ve used both and the Bambu brand ones are better. They are also designed to break instead of destroying the entire print head if there is some big obstruction.
Most people don’t want to tinker with their printers constantly to get them to work.
Or install 3rd party firmware.
They just want the printers to work. Bambu just works.
So many hours have I wasted trying to fix hardware problems on my ender 3 v3. Or tweak settings in the slicer that never fixed the issues.
So much time spent on reddit and YouTube, troubleshooting.
The Bambu just works. It always just works.
If I want to tinker with something, I’ll unpack my ender I’ve put away. But I don’t see that happening.
Sounds like you are someone who wants to tinker with the printer. In your case , no, a Bambu probably isn’t the right choice.
But for 90% of people looking to get into 3d printing, bambu is the right choice.
Most people lack mechanical skills or knowledge and get frustrated with sub par printers and don’t stay with the hobby.
Bambu allows more people to get into the hobby. Which means more unique filaments because there is a market for it.
More creators. Because there is a market for it.
It’s a win win for everyone.

You don’t need ams to print. All the pieces print separately.
Even eyes/pupils.
It’s designed so that anyone can print it.
Also tinkercad. It’s basic but honestly it works for most stuff I make for things around the house.
Fusion 360 is free for non commercial use.
Really like my Bambu A1. I started with an ender. Unlike the Ender, Bambu just works. Some people don’t like that you can’t use other slicers with it, but the Bambu studio slicer is pretty great imo. Their makerworld.com website is a great place to get models. They have high incentives for creators so there is always new high quality stuff being posted.
Also their replacement parts are inexpensive from them directly. And they literally sell every single part. So you can replace any thing you need to. But you likely wont need to replace anything for a while.
They also have sensors on the printers for tons of features. Oh and their printers are designed to be ran through wifi. So no more packing cards back and forth between printer and computer.
Watch some YouTube reviews videos. You will be impressed.
Also when you print at 0.2 layer hight on a Bambu. The print quality looks better than 0.16 on other printers.
No lie.
I recommend Bambu to anyone.
Yes for the face they measure your iris and sclera and the distance between your eyes. They compute a ratio output and use that. If your nose and mouth are visible they also create ratios for those. Distance and hight x length . By modifying these points, the ratios are poisoned.
For movement gait identification. They use stride and leg lengths. (Thighs and calf ratios). Speed. Overall height. And where legs start (,hip). They make ratio measurements. But that’s not as useful as it is for face. Not as accurate because of clothing.
They use something more like motion capture. You ever seen videos of people in black skin suits with ping pong balls glued to it. ? They use this in games and cgi. They track movement with the ping pong balls and then map it on a computer to the CGI model.
This is what is basically used for gait. tracking.
But. Maybe you are thinking. “Holdon. If they need to use the ping pong balls in studios to capture motion, how can they do it from a video of someone walking down the street?”
Well. Firstly it’s not nearly as good as the suit/ball method done in a studio.
But it doesn’t have to be to create a high enough resolution of the movements to create a signature .
That said. Unlike facial recognition, it’s current ability to identify someone is less accurate and they can’t just run it through a big database. Instead they use other information like cell phone pings to first create a list of possible identities.
As you can guess. That still means there is huge amounts of error.
There are huge amounts of error in facial recognition too. They just downplay it.
But it’s not nearly as good as they want you and juries/judges to think.
Anywho. This is why the dazzle camouflage is specifically useful for gait recognition poisoning.
The multiple high contrast bars of black and white confuse the software . The software cannot find the actual outline of the person vs the background. Especially in a video from afar. It poisons the data.
Even modern day equipment has low accuracy determining the distance and specific location of things with this camouflage.
