Peeping Tom filter lets phones see through bikinis

A developer in Tokyo has created an add-on for Vodafone handsets that's meant to be used as a night filter to let people take pictures with their phones in the dark.

Unfortunately, the night vision camera has an unexpected side effect, according to Japanese developer Yamada Denshi. In the right circumstances, it allows users to see a lot more than they bargained for.

As well as taking snaps in the dark, the Yamada Denshi infrared filter apparently sees through people's clothes.

The problem arises because the filter uses the distribution of heat to create its pictures. When attached to a high-end camera, the filter can see though certain kinds of clothing and is reportedly particularly effective on dark bikinis.

The handset most often used with the filter--the V602-SH--is only available in Japan.

A Vodafone spokeswoman confirmed that the Peeping Tom accessory isn't a problem outside of Japan. She added that because Yamada Denshi is a third-party supplier, Vodafone's control is limited. "They are not an approved third party," she said.

"We would never go to market with a phone with any kind of capacity to see people naked," she said.

Camera phones have long prompted fears of voyeurism, leading several gyms to ban them to prevent people from using them to take inappropriate pictures.

Voyeurism with camera phones became such a problem in South Korea that the government ruled that phones must make a noise when pictures are taken

Question

This happened with Sony's night shot on its 8mm camcorders. They took it off the market for a while then fixed the problem and re-released it

hey s2kandre, u do know that frank dux was a sham dont u. in fact, if u go over to mma.tv and post a thread on there touting the impressive frnak dux, they will shoot u down mercilessly. he was proven to be a fraud in a tell all book that revealed how many people falsely represented their "distinguished" military careers. i believe the name of the book is "stolen valor"
to squash some of those stats, firstly, how do u even measure the speed of a kick??? does the guy have a speed camera/meter pointing at the victim? also, that kumite tournament was highly disputed as even existing. oh, it was some secret underground one that no one knows about. the movie was an ok flick, and it was van damme at his best (shudder), but frnak dux was a sham.

actually the night vision filters on cameras has been a well-know technique in voyeur circles for a long time now. they are actually called x-ray shots and can be taken at pools, the beach and even on people with clothing of a certain material.

back when i was in college i used to frequent voyeurweb.com and it had tutorials on how to get x-ray shots, the best equipment to use etc. this camera phone thing is a neat trick.
