Identity Protection System
Régine over at we-make-money-not-art.com reports on a project showing at the RCA's Great Exhibition in London, called IDPS (IDentity Protection System.
"Interaction designer Miquel Mora proposes a new way to protect our visual identity from the invasion of ubiquitous surveillance cameras, by sticking a special sticker on your jacket which blurred your image on the video screen".
In his own words: DPS allows users to secure their identity. It gives them the power to reveal or hide their image with subtle gestures. With IDPS they are in control of their identity.
IDPS technology could be printed or embedded in all kind of items, from simple badges to clothes or jewellery. With IDPS users can always feel comfortable, knowing that with a simple gesture like smiling, they are in control.
