| No Pictures Please: Researchers Develop System to Thwart Unwanted |
|---|
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have completed a
prototype device that can block digital-camera function in a given
area. Commercial versions of the technology could be used to stymie
unwanted use of video or still cameras.
The prototype device, produced by a team in the Interactive and
Intelligent Computing division of the Georgia Tech College of
Computing (COC), uses off-the-shelf equipment -- camera-mounted
sensors, lighting equipment, a projector and a computer -- to scan
for, find and neutralize digital cameras. The system works by looking
for the reflectivity and shape of the image-producing sensors used in
digital cameras.
