    Can the biometric database work/recognize people if they were sunglasses ?

    Yes they can if you wear sunglasses. Some can even recognize and track people by body movements, the way they walk ...

    It is termed gait analysis and in fact, these are the ones that have been in use the longest because it is far easier that facial identification, and far harder to disguise. I think the first use was in airports.

    Supermarkets and other retail stores sometimes use the technology:

    can't remember where i read it.
    but apparently thick smoke / vape from a ecig is really effective at tricking facial recognition..
    you just need to be able to constantly be exhaling a thick cloud of vape..

    also block geometric shapes painted on your face messes up the program, cos it makes the points hard to measure or something.
    trying to find a link to back this up.

    Oh yeah, I remember there were various makeup styles that would fool the current generation of facial recognition algorithms. A couple from google image search:

    That all sucks. Makes people/me want to go live in the country for privacy.

    yea, that kind of stuff... it makes it harder for facial recognition to recognise you... but it makes you stand out like dogs balls to anyone that is actually looking at you :p

    My greatest fear is that we'll end up microchipped and the bozos running the affair will be Centrelink.
