JACKET_1 is the flagship product from the wearable technology collective, SKINNER.

Jacket_1 is a refined, technologically-infused wearable technology piece that works to passively subvert the means of widespread surveillance while providing the wearer with protection from environmental conditions.

 

JACKET_1 is specifically equipped with privacy-enhancing details including the Darkpocket™ and the AI-Scrambling Pattern. The DarkPocket™ in JACKET_1 acts as a wearable Faraday cage, providing a shield against electromagnetic fields. It is constructed with a special fabric interwoven with alloy materials that block signal transmissions from entering or exiting the pocket. When you place any object, like a smartphone or a key fob, inside the DarkPocket, it will be isolated from all signals, ensuring privacy and security from electronic snooping or hacking. The Adversarial Faces pattern is effective against Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) based facial detection due to several reasons. HOG simplifies the image by dividing it into cells and analyzing gradient orientations, which makes it a simpler model to attack compared to more complex algorithms. The HOG model's expected input can be visualized and fed back into the model, allowing for an iterative process to create adversarial inputs that fool the model. The representation of a face as a histogram of oriented gradients does not resemble a face to human observers, which allows adversarial patterns to exploit the disconnect between human and machine perception. Additionally, HOG struggles with unusual facial angles, and this limitation can be exploited by adversarial patterns to further fool the detection mechanism. In essence, the Adversarial Faces pattern takes advantage of the simplicity and limitations of HOG's method of processing images to create inputs that mislead the facial detection process.

 

WEATHERPROOFING

The waterproof construction of the Jacket_1 is designed to provide the wearer with excellent protection against wet and rainy conditions. The jacket is made of a durable and waterproof material, treated with a waterproof coating to prevent water from seeping through the fabric. In addition to the waterproof material, the jacket also features taped seams, preventing moisture from entering the garment through the stitching. This combination of waterproof material and taped seams creates a highly resistant product with excellent protection against the elements. The jacket's waterproof construction is perfect for urban and outdoor activities in wet conditions, such as hiking, camping, or commuting.
