This new camera might be able to see through your clothes
Fujifilm announced their new X-T1 IR camera Monday, a sweet device that could help forensic scientists find hidden clues at crime scenes. The camera sees infrared light, meaning it can capture things unseen by the naked human eye, like painted-over bloodstains.
But this camera's amazing ability comes with an awkward downside: It can see through some clothes, Wired reports. The clothes have to be pretty thin, though, so just invest in well-made garments if you know a lot of camera-loving freaks.
The camera comes out in October. For a mere $1,700, you can creep on strangers to your heart's content.
