We are surrounded by electronic devices that keep a trace of every phone call , every SMS or email and every transaction we make. Some lawful citizens are very reluctant to have infrared surveillance cameras prying their every move. To challenge that Orwellian threat, German artists from Oberwelt e.V. designed a DIY headband capable of disrupting cameras.
The I-R.A.S.C. is an infrared device, which protects against infrared surveillance cameras. It can be made by anybody; no special skills are required. The device radiates infrared light disrupting the reception of infrared surveillance cameras. A sphere of light covers the face of the person under surveillance and as the interaction is invisible to the human eye (at a frequency between 780nm and 1mm), the individual is unaware of what is going on i.e. they don’t see the infrared rays emitted by either the surveillance camera or the I-R.A.S.C.
