X-Ray Glasses


Have you ever wanted to be a spy? Lots of spy toys are currently on the market and are so user-friendly, even an idiot can look cool using it. For example, did you ever want to be able to see if the next person is hiding a gun under his coat? The X-ray glasses are no longer a fantasy but instead now come with 470 lines of resolution. And for some of the perverted few, they would be used with a camcorder to record voyeur pictures or movies.
How do they work?

Under normal light, Both visible (light you can see) and infrared light (light you can't see) will pass through some materials covering an object and be reflected back by the object's surface.
In this case the reflected visible light is too strong and saturated preventing you from seeing through the material with the naked eye.

However, if the reflected visible light is filtered out and only the reflected infrared and the required light is captured using special made sensitive cameras inside the glasses, the covered object surface will be visible.

With the advancement of technology, no one’s privacy is really safe. However, it may help to wear thicker clothing as these so called x-ray glasses do not pass through thicker materials.

The price for an x-ray glasses with palm size portable DVR is approximately US$2,400. These toys don’t come cheap and owning some of them are against the law.
