I want this to go into the iPhone 5. If it does, I can think of about a million ways to troll the general public with it. Imagine, little solar-powered IR LEDs

I want this to go into the iPhone 5. If it does, I can think of about a million ways to troll the general public with it.
Imagine, little solar-powered IR LEDs that you could ninja-drop in places (like...an Apple store) that would broadcast "Hello, you are photographing a copy of The Hurt Locker". This would make the best hidden-camera show ever (though you'd have to record it with a non-iPhone).
- xorglorb 15y agoIt mentioned that you could disable recording for a period of time. What if you set the LEDs to disable recording for several days or even weeks.
- mnutt 15y agoCombining the IR LEDs with throwies ( http://graffitiresearchlab.com/projects/led-throwies/ http://graffitiresearchlab.com/projects/led-throwies/ ) would be ideal.
- jamesbkel 15y agoAgreed, my first thoughts too. This is ripe for abuse. I honestly would be less concerned about "legit" or "publicly known" use (concerts, sports, political event etc.) since it would lead to public dissent towards of the offending performer/venue. Not saying it wouldn't be used, but there would be a significant PR liability if they imposed sanctions on photography. If I were a criminal, first thing I would do is get a few of those IR transmitters to wear on my ski mask.
