We pass under surveillance cameras every day, appearing on perhaps
hundreds of minutes of film. We rarely notice them. London-based artist
James Bridle would like to remind us. Bridle has created a wearable device he calls the "surveillance spaulder.” Inspired by the original spaulder—a piece of medieval plate armor that protected "the wearer from unexpected and unseen blows from above”—the surveillance spaulder alerts the wearer to similarly unseen, if electronic, attacks. Whenever its sensor detects the the type of infrared lighting commonly used with surveillance cameras, it sends an electric signal to two "transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation” pads, which causes the wearer to twitch. The surveillance spaulder provides a "a tap on the shoulder,” Bridle writes, "every time one comes under the gaze of power.” http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/12/the-new-armor-that-lets-you-sense-surveillance-cameras/282335/ Well that's kind of cool. - TS |

So you can walk around involuntarily twitching? No thank you.

I'd like it better if it also located the camera and sent a blinding pulse of light to destroy the camera. Or maybe a small EMP.
Heck, a simple burst from a 7.62 Minigun would suffice.

Orwell and Huxley were wrong. It was Gibson, Dick and Stephenson we should have heeded.

IR on cameras is not on in daytime. I would imagine a fair amount of false alarms from IR sources all around us.
Doubts about an immature tech. |

Better to use the devices on the camera operators. They're more expensive and replacements will quickly become impossible to find...

Yes, because who wouldn't want a device that makes you involuntarily twitch as you pass one of the hundreds of surveillance cameras on your daily route?

Needs an infrared strobe to "blind" the camera at night, or lowlight situations

But a few common IR LEDs mounted near your face will blind most cameras - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOH9XhsP3iI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaIIswjQ8OA |

If it detected the IR, haven't you already been seen?
