If someone hasn’t made a 3D printable model for IR glasses I think I may make one this weekend.
With a model file, 20 cents of filament, a few LEDs, some wire, and a watch battery these could be made DIY for a few dollars after the printer cost. You can get a decent 3D printer for 200 bucks these days.
They won’t be as stylish, but they’d do the job just fine.
Honestly, I don’t want to manage a battery. I would maybe be okay with it if I could recharge it wirelessly (set it on one of those wireless phone chargers or whatever), but that’s a bit outside DIY ATM.
But yeah, spending $100+ on glasses just to piss off some security guards is a bit steep. I’m at a point where I can absolutely afford it for the lulz, but that’s a pretty big ask for the type of person who would be racially profiled away from the store. I wish I could just grab any pair of glasses ($10 or whatever) and spray on some kind of coating to get IR reflectivity. Maybe that exists, I just don’t know enough about it.

not the security guards. they don’t care about the, and this has nothing to do with security.
It’s about breaking the automated tracking system.
And who reviews the anomalies?
