Belgian scientists developed a prototype for a graphic print that could be added to clothing to "attack" and baffle surveillance technology.

Belgian computer scientists Simen Thys, Wiebe Van Ranst, and Toon Goedemé designed "adversarial patches" as part of a study funded by KU Leuven.

"We believe that, if we combine this technique with a sophisticated clothing simulation, we can design a T-shirt print that can make a person virtually invisible for automatic surveillance cameras," the researchers wrote.
