A retro reflective hat or sweater would work well in night time conditions, no?

Or at least be a good second feature.

Saturate the sensor in an environment that otherwise reflects little.

Even a small retro reflective logo can ruin a flash photo...

Yikes, US$95 or US$125. May as well make your own with strips of DOT tape.

Having no experience with 3D printing, CAD, or knowledge of various reflectivity materials, I could spend the time necessary to chase those rabbits. Or I could just buy a pair.
