Step 1: Exposure

These days it seems that Big Brother is everywhere. How would you like to avoid exposure with an invisible mask? You'll need a hat you don't value too much but looks good on you.

Step 2: Mark Up The LED's

Eight or more high intensity IR, or infrared, LED's you can get for around two bucks. Wire up the LED's making sure you get the plus and minus symbols right. Then using a maker mark on the hat where you want the LED's to go.

Step 3: Assemble The Mask

Using scissors cut or poke the holes. Gently place each LED in its hole making sure it's in there tight and it won't scratch your head. Secure with electrical tape and connect the wires to a 9 volt battery which you can hide in the back of the hat. You can even add a little switch. Invisible to the human eye but blind for the camera.
