You could definitely ruin a concert by projecting offensive symbols or messages. Especially since if it's done well, most concertgoers would initially assume that it's part of the show.
- Wowfunhappy 2y agoBut to actually create patterns you'd need a huge IR spotlight!
- koolba 2y agoObviously you use the wristbands themselves to propagate your hacked signal.
- stephen_g 2y agoHow? They receive IR but can’t transmit it! Even if it was possible to propagate with the bands themselve (I think the vendor’s website mentions there is a Bluetooth version, maybe you could with that), you still have the problem of not knowing where any are, so if you actually want to show anything meaningful on a group of these, you can’t really. You can just make annoying flashes.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoWhy huge? Something couple times stronger than a TV remote should be fine, if focused. Unless they purposefully put a powerful IR attenuator in front of the receiver, as a security measure so that a would-be attacker would really need a a "huge IR spotlight".
- jvanderbot 2y agoBecause distance and reflection are the attenuators here. A stadium-sized group of kids aren't very good at pointing your receivers at your rogue transmitter.
