Mobile cam sees through clothes
An accessory to your mobile phone that gives you X-Ray vision. Creepy to the max...Mobile cam sees through clothesCameraphone voyeurism reaches new heights!
A new mobile phone gadget has raised fears it will be a perverts' dream. The £100 add-on will turn camera phones into X-ray specs which can see through clothes, according to Scotland's Daily Record.
"It is said to be particularly effective on dark bikinis. Originally designed for taking pictures at night, it has quickly been exploited by voyeurs.
Night-filters are the latest device used by Japan's obsessive voyeur community.Made by Japanese company Yamada Denshi, it can be bought on the internet and fitted to high-end phones.
In particular, Vodafone's V602-SH handset, not yet available in the UK, is being used with the new gadget.
Vodafone say they are deeply unhappy about the device. It is not illegal in itself - but using it to film people's naked bodies would be.
The cameras effectively give users night vision by picking up on heat to create outline pictures. Because bodies are hotter than clothes, the pictures produce an image of the body without the clothes.
Vodafone deny responsibility and have condemned the abuse of camera-phone technology.
