As privacy concerns grow in our increasingly surveilled world, engineers at the University of Michigan have introduced an innovative solution: PrivacyLens. This new smart camera technology transforms individuals into stick figures, ensuring personal privacy without compromising security. Using a combination of standard video and heat-sensing cameras, PrivacyLens replaces real images with animated figures before any data is transmitted, marking a significant step forward in protecting privacy in smart homes.
