Adam Harvey’s Face Camouflage
Popular Science recently had an article on a study completed by Adam Harvey, a designer and technologist with NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program to develop camouflage to defeat face recognition technologies. Causing distortions around the eyes tended to be most effective. However, while the technique does fool detection software, it certainly doesn’t do much for blending in. It is kind of difficult to walk around with dark patches around the eyes and not stick out like a sore thumb garnering other forms of attention.

CV Dazzle is camouflage from face detection. It’s based on the original Dazzle camo from WWI and targets automated face detection and recognition systems by altering the contrast and spatial relationship of key facial features. For more info, http://cvdazzle.com

Desert Night Camouflage
The Desert Night Camouflage pattern is a two-color grid camouflage pattern used by the United States military during the Gulf War. It was designed to aid soldiers in concealment from older generation enemy night vision devices (NVDs). The pattern is now considered obsolete due to the increase in capability of foreign night vision devices.
During the first Gulf War, clothing sets in this pattern were issued to US troops as an over-jacket (with a removable insulating liner) and over-pants, both being designed to be worn over the issued six-color Desert Battle Dress Uniform during nighttime operations.
No night-specific pattern has been created to replace this gear for nighttime use in a desert environment, as advancements in infrared reflectance technology in first the Desert Camouflage Uniform, and finally the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform and Army Combat Uniform have eliminated the need for a separate nighttime overgarment.
During the Gulf War, one scout/sniper section of a Marine Corps battalion conducted a night test comparing the visibility of the desert night camouflage clothing with six-color desert uniforms and winter overwhites. The night camouflage clothing proved to be more visible than both the day desert uniforms and winter overwhites when viewed though an AN/PVS-5 night vision device.
Sugiura’s Dark Forest X Max Protetch Gallery
Keita Sugiura is a promising young photographer who won the Victor Pincheck Award at Geisai Museum #2 and the bronze prize at Geisai #11 in autumn 2008. His sharp yet delicate works, printed on large-sized mat sheets, carry a distinctive darkness, which cannot be expressed on a glossy C-print.
“Forest” is a series of photographs portraying dusky woods, taken immediately before nightfall. While capturing expressions of a dark, tranquil forest, these works also realistically and mysteriously convey its moisture and thick air clinging onto one stepping into it.

New Balance 575 ‘Camouflage Pack’
If you think this runners are not 2010 you are definitely reading the wrong blog! These babies are a beauty, but they are not animal friendly and that just sucks!
Anyway, as Nice Kicks put it: ‘This round of New Balance 575s takes “hitting the trail” literally, as both pairs are cloaked in from heel to toe in camouflage print. Realistic camouflage print was used, so these look more fit for a hunter than a soldier. Both pairs feature mesh accents throughout, on in yellow and the other in green, including the toe, mid-panel and near the heel. Black patent accents are also utilized, as well as a heel patch made of suede. A reflective N logo is used to help provide safety, just in case you’re hunting with Dick Cheney’.
