I'm torn on this one. Living in a world where anyone and everyone has this sort of profiling power sounds entirely dystopian.

It's called dazzle makeup if you want to search for more examples and information. The concept is based on dazzle camouflage, which provided some equally interesting paint jobs for ships.
That's so cool! It must be one hell of a treat to see these in the wild. Being RHD, I wonder what final market it's intended for. Maybe Australia? Here's an article on the subject that you and DragonflyMind might enjoy reading.
Thank you for a whole new category of dazzle pictures to look at!
