Ghost glasses, like Reflectacles Ghost, work by reflecting infrared (IR) light, thus creating a barrier against surveillance cameras that rely on infrared technology.
Essentially, these glasses are designed to counteract the effects of infrared illumination, which is often used in night vision and surveillance systems. Here's a breakdown of how they achieve this:
- Infrared Reflection: The lenses are coated with a special material that strongly reflects infrared light. This is the primary mechanism.
- Counteracting IR Surveillance: Many surveillance cameras, especially those used at night or in low-light conditions, utilize infrared light to illuminate the scene. Regular glasses can cause reflections and glare that interfere with the camera's ability to capture a clear image. Ghost glasses, by reflecting the infrared back towards the source, can obscure the wearer's face or disrupt the surveillance system's effectiveness.
- Creating a "Barrier": The reflected infrared light essentially creates a "barrier" of light around the wearer's face, making it difficult for the camera to obtain a clear image.
In summary, ghost glasses protect against infrared surveillance by reflecting infrared light, making it harder for cameras using IR technology to see the wearer clearly.
