Cool, but we need that for microphones.
brunoborges•35m ago
I wonder if it works with smart glasses.
thesuitonym•9m ago
You don't need this to detect smart glasses, they're very obvious.
fidotron•30m ago
If this worked with IR, and so non visible, it might be even more useful.

Great idea though.

baking•18m ago
But then you would need an IR camera instead of using the phone's camera. An IR camera should be able to find some hidden cameras passively by detecting a heat source.

Why would that be more useful?

Yeah I don’t think this will be effective, cameras can be put in certain angles that it can see with being seen, or how police do it, entirely behind clothes or similar fabric where it can see through and identify but not seen even if you’re looking straight at it.
