In 1974, when I was working at the Rice Media Center (Film School), I had to develop a method to override this feature. We replaced the standard image sensor in a Sony video camera with a silicon image sensor, which was much more sensitive to IR. To prevent excessive brightness in strange parts of the image when there was reasonable illumination (it was exceptional in low light conditions), I installed a filter to remove the IR. Not very expensive, and pretty easy to find. For low light shooting, we could remove the filter.
The same solution might remove the IR signal proposed in the article. --Don Ellis On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 11:33 PM, Mike B. <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2011/06/apple-working-on-a-sophisticated-infrared-system-for-ios-cameras.html > > Oh, boy.
