An Italian startup has developed clothing that tricks surveillance cameras into thinking people are animals.
On the 26th local time, foreign media such as the British daily newspaper Metro reported that Italian fashion technology startup Cap-able has released a 'Manifesto Collection' that can protect human biometric information.
Wearing this suit and standing in front of a biometric camera, you will be identified as an animal, such as a giraffe, zebra, or dog, rather than a person.

The secret is a weaving technique called 'adversarial patch'.
It is not simply printing patterns that artificial intelligence can confuse on clothes, but a method of weaving patterns created by its own algorithm in the form of knit on top and bottom.
The media reported that Capable proved its technology by passing the 'hostile patch' patent that applies algorithms to fabrics and the test through the highest-end artificial intelligence camera.
As for the price, the dress is the most expensive at 640 euros (about 857,000 won in Korean currency), and the hoodie is sold at 420 euros (about 563,000 won in Korean currency). In addition, sweaters, dresses, pants, etc. are sold. .
Capable CEO Rachele Didero said, "We launched this project to address privacy issues and prevent misuse of surveillance cameras in a world where data is gaining traction as the new 'resource'."

Meanwhile, there are concerns that such technology could make it easier for criminals to hide their identities in the future.
However, Diderot CEO said, "The problem of personal information is growing in everyday life. If left unattended, freedom of expression and freedom of movement can be infringed." .
