Extreme measures for not so extreme situations.

A device that could foil movie pirates who covertly record films in cinemas has been developed in the US.

The prototype is able to locate the position of a digital camera, before overwhelming it with white light to render any recorded images useless.



The Georgia Institute of Technology team says the invention could also prevent clandestine photography.


In particular, his team is looking at ways to prevent photography in government buildings or at trade shows, where industrial espionage could be a problem.
