| What started as a spoof is now one step closer to reality. Pixel sensitivity detection on monitors has been possible in recent years. Color verification software for monitors has made use of the ability for quite some time. Now, Java-based web applications can take advantage of the same techniques to detect contributing colors that are external to the monitor. The software can detect pixel variation due to external reflected light. In other words, it can take your picture. Granted, the image may be a bit crude (fuzzy or low resolution) but this is technology in its infancy. Don't believe it? Give it a try. |
