Having ascertained that these are hoaxes, or if you want to be more tolerant we can call them jokes, there's one more reason to stay away from these applications: they are often full of very intrusive ads, and in some cases they even contain trojan.įor example, we recently removed from TorrApk a very popular app called " Naked Scanner " because it contained too invasive advertising. There are Apps that fuse a picture you took with the image of an X-ray or with the image of a woman in a bikini. So, give up hope of seeing things through your smartphone that you are not able to see with your own eyes. The better is the quality of our camera, the more its sensitivity will be similar to that of the human eye. On the sensor is also placed a microscopic matrix of colored filters red, green and blue which emulates the behavior of the cones of our eyes. Moreover, since the wavelengths of the X-rays are below 10 nanometers, the camera's sensors are unable to detect such radiations. To perform X-Ray scans you need a source that can generate these rays and, rest assured that no smartphone has one. The sensors used by cameras CCD or CMOS are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation with a spectrum slightly wider, which ranges from about nanometers the area in which begins the ultraviolet to nanometers infrared zone. You are still not convinced they are an hoax? I'll explain why! The human eye is sensitive to electromagnetic radiations with a wavelength range that goes from nanometers blue area to nanometers red area. There are some technological limits that can't be overcome. It is not possible to create an App for everything. Hence, I take this opportunity to debunk every myth: there are no apps that allow you to see through clothes, nor there are apps able to transform your phone into an X-Ray scanner. Perhaps they really believe that their phone's powerful camera is able to see through clothes. I believe the illusion comes basically from the fact that most people use their smartphones with a poor awareness of the technology behind them. The advent of smartphones has revived a glimmer of hope for all those who have been disappointed by the hoax glasses. Whatever you could really see through those bottom-bottle lenses, it still remains a mystery to me.Īfter many years, things have not changed much. Even though they were obviously a hoax, there were people who bought them and told lies saying that they actually worked in order to justify the unnecessary purchase.
In a time when mobile phones did not exist, teen magazines were filled with advertisements that tried to sell you X-Ray glasses. Having a pair of glasses to see through clothing has been the dream of every kid of my generation. Posted on by Giuseppe Anzalone - 0 Comments.
