Ask HN: Can upside down faces solve face recognition while wearing N95 masks?

2•amichail•8h ago
Imagine an N95 mask worn normally, but above it you wear an upside down replica of your own face. The nose would appear above the eyes and the mouth above the nose because the face is upside down. There are no fake eyes involved, just your real eyes looking through holes.

The replica sits entirely above the mask, so it does not interfere with the seal or function of the N95. From a distance, people could still identify you because the facial structure is there, just upside down.

It would obviously look uncanny, but it preserves identity cues without compromising the mask.

What do you think of this idea?

It would be trivial to track someone wearing this in a crowd.

Why would I voluntarily wear such a thing?
