Biggest Yacht in The World Has an 'Anti-Paparazzi Shield'

Paparazzi got you down? No problem, as long as you have what is being referred to as the 'photo shield'. Such a shield is installed on the biggest yacht in the world. The device works by detecting a CCD and then shining light at the lens to ruin the shot. It can switched on and off easily so guest can use their cameras.

"Ambramovich has installed an anti-paparazzi “shield”. Lasers sweep the surroundings and when they detect a CCD, they fire a bolt of light right at the camera to obliterate any photograph. According to the Times, these don’t run all the time, so friends and guests should still be able to grab snaps. Instead, they will be activated when guards spot the scourge of professional photography, paparazzi, loitering nearby."
