Anti-Paparazzi Glasses

By on Jul 1, 2008 · 7 Comments 

Sure, if your being chased by an angry mob of paparazzi or if your afraid of big brother watching you you might need some diversion tactics like an IR hat or these anti-paparazzi shades.

If your in need of said diversion tactic then building these puppies is a snap. Attach two small but powerful IR LEDs to two pairs of wires, one wire per LED. Then you attach the LEDs to the glasses and voila, blinding shades, for those with cameras that is. You might want to attach a simple on/off switch and not but leaving the wires hanging like the video suggests.

    Terry. Yes you Terry Wagar. We know you are here. We are all watching you.
    This time we will succeed. No more games Terry. No more spying on Joan and I.
    No poison this time, this time it will be quick and easy. Framing you as a pedo
    was small compared to what we have planned.

    Before you make these, realize that most cameras (especially still cameras) have IR filters in them, to improve picture quality. But that also means that you will just look ridiculous, and cameras will still be able to take photos of you.

    A few things…
    1) this only works with digital cameras, film cameras do not suffer from this.
    2) Most of the higher price cameras have IR filters and also do not suffer from this
