A British Company, ‘Thru Vision’ has developed an advanced camera which can detect weapons,drugs or explosives hidden under people’s clothes from a distance of 25 meters.
According to the Company, the camera titled ‘T5000’ uses ‘passive imaging technology’ to identify the objects through natural electro magnetic rays. In technical paralance, this is known as ‘Teraherts or T-rays’.
The advanced features of the camera enable the detecting of the hidden objects even when the people are moving without revealing the physical body details and without causing any harm to them in doing so.
The technology has been provided by European Space Agency which was a by-product of the research of the astronomers in their studies of dying stars.
With an alarming increase in acts of terrorism through out the globe, the camera would cater to the ‘nich needs’ of the Airports, Shopping Malls or simply any crowded places vulnerable to such acts. It would be unveiled at a Scientific Development Exhibition sponsored by Britain’s Home Office to be held between March Th and 13th, 2008.
