gizmodo.com — With Kameraflage, now you'll be able to plant subliminal messages on T-shirts, movies and billboards that can only be seen with digital cameras. This context-sensitive display technology, developed by Sarah Logie and Connor Dickie, works by using colors that are invisible to us but easily picked up by the silicon chips in digital cameras.

My thoughts exactly, if the RIAA did pull something like this, I wouldn't have to worry about pirated films having someone's silhouette walking across the screen, ruining the movie for me.Mind you, I doubt certain pirates would stop pirating because of a giant message over the screen, these kind of pirated videos are never quality anyway..

the camera CCD is more sensitive than eyes and would normally throw the non visible data away. But what they're advertising is to recalibrate the cameras to display the extra range and then put it in the picture (because even if the data was there it would be black or white as our eyes see it)

this looks like a neat technology and I agree that this would cut down video piracy (which would suck in a way cause then I'd have to go buy the DVD's) but anyways looks to have some interesting uses. I for one would use it as security and watermark the back of my laptop with my name adress phone number and a serial number that way if it's stolen I can easily identify it just have them take a picture and all my info is right there in plain site.

It would be better to have heaps of infrared lights shining on the screen, people wouldn't be able to see it but cameras would be screwed.Try video taping your remote control in action.

how did they take the picture of the model wearing the shirt... if they used a camera we should be able to see the lightning.

Reminded me of infrared LED's.. U can't see the light with your eyes, but u can see it with a digital camera...
