OnePlus 8 Pro: Accidental X-Ray vision that sees through plastic and clothes

Updated: Jun 21, 2020

All things considered, here's a camera stunt we've not found in a smartphone previously:

X-Ray vision. Or on the other hand, in any event, something that looks particularly like it. It's a feature of the new OnePlus 8 Pro, which appears to utilize the smartphone's infrared sensors to see through a little subset of dark materials. In the event that you have the OnePlus 8 Pro and need to give it a shot for yourself, simply open up the camera application, swipe over to the "Photochrom" colour filter, and point it some dark items.

We tried different things with the colour filter ourselves and it truly is very particular. It just chips away at extremely dainty dark plastic that is now a little transparent in the correct light. Think things like TV remotes as opposed to the sturdier plastic of a top of the line DSLR. It's additionally hit or miss with garments.



We originally observed this stunt via Ben Geskin on Twitter (above) yet loads of individuals have since shown it. There's a great video from Unbox Therapy (below) which shows the channel in real life, glancing through an Apple TV box, a Switch remote, and even a dainty dark T-Shirt.


As the top of the line smartphones begin fusing infrared sensors as well, it appears they can be utilized for this equivalent reason. Furthermore, it's not simply the OnePlus 8 Pro that can do it. The TrueDepth camera on late iPhones, which utilize infrared light to filter your face for FaceID, can likewise be seized to make transparent pictures, as application developer Guilherme Rambo has illustrated (however it appears you need a jailbroken iPhone to do this).
