UK’s ThruVision develops camera that can see through clothes

British company ThruVision announced the T5000, a high-powered camera that can detect weapons, drugs or explosives hidden under people’s clothing. In what could be a breakthrough innovation, the T5000 can detect hidden objects up to 80 feet away and will be effective even when people are moving.

The T5000 camera uses what ThruVision calls “passive imaging technology” that identifies a hidden object through natural electromagnetic rays, known as Terahertz or T-rays. Although it can detect objects hidden underneath people’s clothes, the camera does not however unveil physical body details. So, women don’t anything to worry about, should the camera go on mass production and implementation in airports and other public places. Likewise, the rays emitted by the camera do not also harm humans in whatever ways.
