A new surveillance camera aims to stop companies from collecting identifiable photos and videos of people by turning them into stick figures.
A strange new surveillance camera aims to stop companies from collecting identifiable photos and videos of people by turning them into stick figures.
The heat-sensing camera spots people from their body temperature and then the person’s image is replaced by a stick figure. The figure’s movements mirror those of the person it’s recording. The raw photos from PrivacyLens are not stored on the device or in the cloud which removes the risk of a data leak. The engineers hope that this level of privacy protection will encourage more people to use cameras inside their homes for health monitoring and other needs.
