A method and system of software, firmware, and conditionally-transparent media to provide recorded visual image privacy through the use of flicker fusion-based obscuration. Such conditionally-transparent media possess the capability to display programmable image and pattern-based opacity gradations and adjustments which are invisible to the human eye and yet disrupt clear image capture with visual recording devices. Use of this invention will limit the gathering and generation of visually-discernable image content using visible light transparent materials, for the purpose of limiting the successful recording of imagery that a user wishes to obscure for the purposes of privacy.
