None of it is possible. (Or, maybe, not "practical.")I'm curious, which part of this actual device do you think is impossible?
Someone has come up with a gizmo,
1. it's a stand alone flash with a stencil over the end.
2. It's triggered by the flash of another camera by a slave circuit. So when people take a picture of something this gizmo goes off and
3. paints the target with a picture for just that 1/10000 of a second. You can't see it with the naked eye really but the pictures will all come up with your picture on them.
1. THAT wouldn't work. A stencil needs a projection lens system.
Without that, it would just lower the brightness of the light behind it.
And, if it had a lens system (for projection of a shadow/image) it would have to
be focused to the surface on which it was being projected.
Otherwise, the intended "disruptive shape" might be nothing but a soft, nondescript blur.
(Which would defeat the entire purpose.)
2. THAT wouldn't work, as by the time a sensor in our image projector
detected another flash, that other camera would be finished exposing its photo.
Our projector unit's flash would be going off too late.
3. THAT wouldn't work, as a strobe of only 1/10,000 of a second...
A. is not possible with standard (affordable) strobe technology.
B. would not overcome the bright on-access strobe of the original camera.
C. would be visible to all guests... if it WAS bright enough to have any effect at all.
A case (if it DID work) where the "cure" would be as bad (or worse) than the "disease."
