So, these actually work great when IR is used (for example you won't be able to unlock your iPhone when wearing them), however my question is, does this help at all when just a normal photo is taken? You can wear these, have a 'normal' photo taken and it just looks like you're wearing standard glasses. That could then be fed through CV, etc?
I can unlock my phone while wearing them.
[edit]
-I don't rely on biometrics, though.
Is it an iPhone? They use IR to map your face where as (AFAIK) most Android just use CV, which is kinda my point. These would only help when IR is involved.
CV = Computer Vision?
Computer vision * sorry
