How to ZAP a Camera:
Using Lasers to Temporarily Neutralize Camera Sensors

Cameras are ubiquitous today, and, from a technology perspective, the revolution is just beginning. To many, this is good news. But there is a dark side. ... When cameras are everywhere, is it possible to become invisible from them? Yes and no.

I began by aiming an inexpensive laser pointer directly into the lens of a video camera. The results were striking.

On Monday, John Markoff published a story about the author of this research, Michael Naimark.

This work has a certain "Steve Mann meets Ross Anderson" appeal to it.
