if you’re looking to evade passive facial detection by smart glasses, a facial covering like a surgical mask is probably the lowest profile solution, followed by those bulky IR-proof glasses like what Reflectacles sells. maybe a combination of both but at some point it becomes conspicuous to have your face covered so fully all the time, not to mention impractical for socialization.
