How long until this will be used in high profile crimes? When wearing a balaclava your face is obscured on security camera footage, this will allow criminals to lead law enforcement down the wrong path and frustrate their efforts by having them look for a person that does not exist.

The article copy states that the faces are from real people who submitted photos. The next logical step here I think is using AI to create a unique face that [probably] isn't in any Face Recognition database.

This can be a way to trick street surveillance/face recognition systems.

I feel like it is a bit of a bait and switch with current pandemic going on and at some point finally mentioning that these masks won't protect against viruses.

Anyone know how they make such realistic masks?
