How effective are wearable accessories using infrared LEDs for disrupting facial recognition?

That would only be effective on cameras that use active lighting to see, and image sensors have become increasingly sensitive to the point many can get a lot of definition in very low lighting conditions.

You're better off looking at solutions that fool facial recognition algorithms through the use of intense colors and patterns, like this line of clothing.

This is sadly very noticeable.
