Polarized Screens to Hide Sensitive Data

Posted by michael on from the 3d-shark-effects-not-included dept.

NiugMan writes "NewScientist.com reports that Iizuka Denki Kogyo, a Tokio-based tech company has developed a monitor which appears to be blank if you stare at it with your eyes. Only by wearing a pair of polarised glasses you see stuff on it. The idea is to protect sensitive data from unauthorised personnel. Please take your special glasses with you when you take a coffee-break."

    "Bob, I noticed your computer had crashed. The screen was all white, so I turned it off for ya'. You may want to get those IT dorks to take a look at it."

    Still... brilliant.

     Remember the good ol' pre-W days when those messages were still subliminal, and you could almost pretend you had a good government?
