Badge keeps paparazzi out of the picture
Wie paparazzi dwars wil zitten kan een badge kopen met HP-technologie die een infrarood signaal uitzendt dat bepaalde digitale camera's zo in de war maakt dat de gezichten van de dragers van de badge op de foto niet meer te zien zijn:
Celebrities hounded by paparazzi may at last be able to emerge from behind their dark glasses without trepidation.
By wearing a specially designed electronic badge that jams electronic cameras, they will be able to prevent photographers from taking unwanted pictures.
The “privacy protection system” being developed by Hewlett-Packard will allow the publicity-shy to transmit an infrared signal to any nearby compatible camera. Once activated, the camera’s software will automatically blur beyond recognition the face of anybody wearing the badge, New Scientist magazine reports.
