Capture Resistant Environment

Blocking the Recording of Cameras

The Capture Resistant Environment uses cameras and projectors to prevent unauthorized photography and video recording. The camera can detect the lens of a digital camera and the projected light can neutralize the camera, making any images or video recordings blurred and thus useless.

I proposed a mechanism that should be put in to all mobile devices that give them some environmental / location context awareness. In such a system the cameras would be told that they are not allowed to take photo's rather then trying to solve it brute force.
