Kinky Android X-ray app laid bare as malware

Re: Really...?

Just like those adverts for x-ray specs 20 years ago.

Aimed at a certain gullible demographic, the Android user.

At least the Apple censors would have seen this coming, though if it had got past them downloads would probably have been in the millions.

Re: This gave me an idea

I haven't tried it, but unless the tracking was very accurate, there would be a risk of falling into the 'uncanny valley'. It might be more suitable for 'cartoonising' the subjects, for fun and giggles though.

Of course, you could cover the subject in ping pong balls on a stage next to a render farm, as was done on Avatar- a rough rendering was done in real time during the actors performances, to give the crew an idea of what the eventual scene would look like.

Re: A batch of Sony camcorders...

"...were withdrawn from sale many years ago, because of the way a 'low light mode' was implemented. However, this Infra Red detection actually made people look as if they were just wearing underwear."

You can do that with pretty much any camera with a true infrared nightvision mode, just put a bit of exposed 35mm film over the lens and switch on the night vision. More bra`s n panties than an m&s department store.

Works best on cotton garments, doesnt work on nylon very well.

The Sony nightvision camcorder I had was great for playing gulf war in the garden, It really was good for the time/price.

Re: I can understand why people were duped

>I do worry about the kind of person that thinks a free app will do the same job though.

Yeah, you'd expect that you'd at least have to prise the camera module apart and remove the IR filter.
