Actually, I think this is pretty cool, because the real way to monetize this technology is to sell it to the public. Once that happens, in very short order, you would effectively kill the use of the phone as a camera, except for in the instances where someone actually WANTS their picture taken. I would actually like to have a jammer that prevents someone from taking a picture of my property 24/7, and putting one on a car would effectively kill the traffic camera industry (red light cameras and photo speed traps). If anything, I see the govt making this tech illegal.
BTW, for those who don’t know ... virtually every camera made in the last 20 years has an IR device in it ... you may know it by its marketing name ... AUTOFOCUS
It would make the ‘old’ phones a high demand item................
