A great question! Most cameras actually have filters that will prevent them from seeing above the visible light spectrum - your webcam probably does, for example. If you'd like to learn more, this book is supposed to be pretty good:

You've got the awkward stance, the artfully messy hair, the House of Holland tee. But so does everyone else in Nylon. So if you're looking for a way to stand out on your next photo blog appearance, check out Kameraflage.

You can see this effect for yourself - point your camera at a Wii 'sensor' bar. It's just an array of IR leds.

Well, I can officially say I know one of the models featured on Gizmodo... :o)

She's the nicest person on Earth. Stop telling her to "eat something." She's pretty just the way she is. And also really really smart, lol

As for this camera phone feature, I can't really see a use for it for myself. The hidden shirt messages could be funny though...

Great for press conference protests. The Gestapo can't throw you out if they can't see the message. Could be fun.

This is awesome.

I loathe having my picture taken, so I'd just buy a hoodie with a big invisible "FUCK YOU" on the front, and wear it whenever I went someplace where assholes keep trying to take my picture.

Actually, most cameras already have IR filters on them for this very reason - the sensors are wildly responsive to IR! Now, this refers to regular digital cameras with real sensor and lens assemblies, and not the camera modules you see used in cellphones and stuff...

miasimus — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:52:34 EDT

Both images are obviously the identical except for the bolt. It's more likely that they photoshopped the cell phone picture. Why would an IR sensitive camera render infrared as blue?

ackthbbft — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:17:30 EDT

Oh, the possibilities...

You could wear a shirt that has "I'm with Stupid ->" hidden in it while standing next to your boss while your picture is taken with him, and he'd never know it. Then if he tries to fire you, you can claim someone photoshopped it, since obviously he would have noticed you wearing it at the time the picture was taken! >)

this could be interesting for bar/pub crawl shirts too. You could give your friends shirts with a hidden message knowing that tons of photos would be taken that night.

Good Point JETEXAS.

I wonder if clothing manufacturers will throw some "branding" on clothing with this tech. That could be annoying.

I just realized the horrible implications this could have in the realm of advertising. They could paint tourists attractions with this stuff, and while your visit would seem normal, your photos would be plagued with logos, slogans, etc. They could slather landmarks in this stuff, so instead of being able to snap a picture when you visit, you'd HAVE to buy a postcard.

As far as stopping bootlegging movies, I just see the bootleggers going back to analog or sticking a filter on the lens to block that spectrum of light. If this technology really takes off, I even foresee digital cameras being manufactured with an on/off option to shut out that part of the spectrum.

If I wasn't sick to death of ARGs, this would be great for one; put up a bunch of blank or innocuous billboards that display hidden messages when viewed through a digital camera. Give vague clues on where the billboards are, and send people out hunting!

@cwcole:
Good question
but its called photoshop.
I would like to get one of those shirts. They would need better designs tho.
Also if it was washable it would be hot and if you could buy the marker or something leading you to customize it then yeah it would become a hot item.

Use it to display political messages that won't be visible to the security agents who would like to boot you out - no matter what the 1st amendment says.

@cwcole: digital SLRs have pretty efficient hotmirrors in front of them, but the cheaper P/S cameras dont*. so the larger picture would have been taken by your garden variety dSLR while the iphone was taking the picture of the babe.

*this is easily tested: take any remote control you have and point it into your digicam lens while pressing buttons. usually you can see the IR LED light up on the live preview itself.

for this reason, almost any cheap P/S can be used for digital IR photography, provided you can access aperture and shutter manually. just stick a big piece of unexposed, but developed slide film and bam! an IR taking machine

MJDeviant — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 09:14:52 EDT

This seems pretty useless. I guess celebrities could use it and advertise something, like a specific paparazzi magazine so everyone else who takes a picture or posts that picture would have to advertise the other magazine.....I don't know, I'm just trying to see why this even exists besides being the future of Spencer's gifts stores.

cwcole:
Tey probably just photoshopped the picture to remove it, unless as I said, many digital cameras don't work with it due to IR filters. I kinda doubt they used a film camera.

Elliuotatar — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 08:58:59 EDT

I wonder how much IR light you'd have to put out to blot out your face on a camera due to flare or because it exposes the picture too dark? Would be useful to put in a cap, or around your license plates to foil big brother. I thought most cameras had IR filters on them though. I wonder how many cameras could actually pick up this shirt. Cheapr cellphone cameras obviously, but what about regular digital cameras?

Put her phone on it- won't it be more likely that she put a message like PERV on her shirt.

I think it would be great for punking someone. Like letting Lohan wear a shirt that said DRUNK while on the red carpet.
