A $400 sweater tricks facial-recognition cameras into thinking you're a zebra or a giraffe to protect your privacy, its maker says

YOLO, which stands for "you only look once," is an open-source image-detection system that has been used in industries including healthcare.

"Our garments are not infallible, and we work every day to improve the technology," Busani said.

The accuracy of facial-recognition software depends on factors, including how fast you're moving, how close you are to the camera, how light it is, and what's in the background. Algorithms are being developed to overcome anti-facial-recognition tools, so it could get tougher to outsmart them.
