UK cinema staff will wear night-vision goggles to combat piracy
Night vision is slowly working its way into mainstream use. An example of this comes with a report from the Telegraph that says cinema staff in the UK will use military-grade night vision headsets to combat piracy during the premier of the new Bond romp Spectre. Like something lifted straight out of a bond film, staff will don these goggles in auditoriums across the country to catch those who are trying to record the movie for illegal distribution.
“James Bond is a big risk and we will be working with cinema operators and the distributors making sure we will keep that as tight as possible. We really don’t want to see that recorded,” said Kieron Sharp, director general of the Federation Against Copyright Theft. It turns out the villains that really need to fear Bond’s wrath are those with their cameras at the ready when the cinema lights go out.
