Harvey is one of a growing number of privacy-focused designers and developers “exploring new opportunities that are the result of [heightened] surveillance,” and working to establish lines of defense against it. He’s spent the past several years experimenting with strategies for putting control over people's privacy back in their own hands and in their pockets. Harvey’s CHBL Jammer Coat and sold-out Phonekerchief use metal-infused fabrics to make personal gadgets unreachable, blocking texts, calls and radio waves.
- These clever Invisibility Glasses prevent biometric analysis. They were developed in early 2015 by antivirus software company AVG’s Innovation Labs division.
