Rev.Info.Faqs - Kameraflage

In our modern lifestyle nowadays, almost every one of us owns a cellphone or maybe more, and most of the time it comes with a built in camera, mine's with 2 mega-pixel camera. Okay, so to ordinary people... we just snap some pictures on the go with them.. stored them or send them as MMSs. I know one other function for camera on camera phone is for those 'pirates' to record movies in cinemas. I certainly doubt the video quality that came out of it. =D

Anyway, a few scientist actually came out with an invention called - Kameraflage (sounds like camera + camouflage) well, it is. According to the research, digital camera tends to see a broader spectrum of light than our naked eyes. Means that with digital camera can see more than us. So what does this mean? Means that those researchers uses this and create Kameraflage.

Ok, basically according to the website... they now proposed 3 types of usage for it. 1) Kameraflage cinema whereby user can use the cellphone camera, hold it during the screening and you can view extra info. out of it, presume to be subtitles. Hmm, it has its ups and downs though. Imagine that if you wanted to view the subtitles, you'll have to hold your phone the entire duration of the movie. Wouldn't that be tiring? It might generates suspisions too, whether is there anyone exploiting this technology to film the movie for pirating? hahahaa...

Next, Kameraflage billboard. Hmmm, this I think if applied smartly can actually be beneficial. On the website, they showed 2 Mona Lisa's picture on a gallery. Visitors can admire the picture as they please but if they took the photo back home, they'll get the extra 'touch' to it. Meaning it'll have 'monalisa.com' word imprinted somewhere near the picture. Well, pretty neat for that nice little touch. Perfect for those who is lazy to put a caption on their photos.

Finally, they have Kameraflage fashion, now this is something interesting. Not only words but you can actually put up additional pictures onto something, namely fabric. Bored of wearing plain ol' t-shirt all day long? Or wanted to impress your school mates during school? just imprint those patterns or designs onto your clothes and your friends can just use the camera phones to snap away with you on your all new outfit! Instantly! Magical huh?, not sure if they allow camera phones in school yet or not?

Interesting ideas... but to what extend is it feasible enough to be used commercially? Still questionable to me... we'll see. : )

P/S: I wonder if the same should work with digital camera or videocam.
