A developer in Tokyo has created an add-on for Vodafone handsets that's meant to be used as a night filter to let people take pictures with their phones in the dark.
Unfortunately, the night vision camera has an unexpected side effect, according to Japanese developer Yamada Denshi. In the right circumstances, it allows users to see a lot more than they bargained for.
As well as taking snaps in the dark, the Yamada Denshi infrared filter apparently sees through people's clothes. When attached to a high-end camera, the device can give the effect of seeing through some garments--it depends on how easily infrared can penetrate the fabric in question--and is reportedly particularly effective on dark bikinis.
The handset most often used with the filter--the V602-SH--is available only in Japan.
