This would be google glasses app that uses a combination
of face
recognition, autofocus and autocontrast settings to smear
white
people's faces into the background, effectively eliminating
them
from the visual field. Imagine a world where all the white
people
disappear.

I suspect that this would be tricky to implement
in real-time, unless you wanted to tolerate a lot
of errors. |

You'd also have to compensate for ambient
lighting, which is a lot more variable than we
realize (our eyes and brains accommodate a lot).
Even then, it would be difficult to reliably exclude
(for example) some skintones that you might want
to leave unaltered. |

Also, what happens to white folk who are wearing
sunglasses and have extensive facial hair? Clearly,
if anyone should be blurred, it would be someone
who affects to wear extensive facial
adumbrations. |

Finally, would white people not be more (rather
than less) conspicuous if they appeared as torsos
surmounted by a diffuse glow? |

Similar prior art exists - Google Street View. |

Oh... I was hoping to find sunglasses shaped like
white people... kinda fat and uptight and unhealthy. |
