It consists of two [[w:Rotation around a fixed axis|w:rotary axes]] with [[w:height]] and [[w:radius]] control. A [[w:Light#Light_sources|w:light source]] and a [[w:polarizer]] in front of the light source were placed on one arm and a camera and the other polarizer on the other arm.

'''See picture below, for what they did to the captured reflection'''.

''' Introduction '''
Since the early 00's it has become (nearly) impossible to determine in still or moving pictures what is an image of a human, imaged with a (movie) camera and what on the other hand is a simulation of an image of a human imaged with a simulation of  a camera. When there is '''no camera''' and the target being imaged with a simulation looks deceptively like some real human, dead or living, it is a '''[[digital look-alikes|digital look-alike]]'''.

Now in the late 2010's the equivalent thing is happening to our '''voices''' i.e. they '''can be stolen''' to some extent with the 2016 prototypes like [[w:Adobe Inc.]]'s [[w:Adobe Voco|w:Adobe Voco]] and [[w:Google]]'s [[w:DeepMind]] [[w:WaveNet]] and '''made to say anything'''. When it is not possible to determine with human testing or testing with technological means what is a recording of some living or dead person's real voice and what is a simulation it is a '''[[digital sound-alikes|digital sound-alike]]'''. 2018 saw the publication of Google Research's sound-like-anyone machine 'Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis' at the [[w:NeurIPS]] conference and by the end of '''2019''' Symantec research had learned of 3 cases where digital sound-alike technology '''had been used for crimes'''.<ref name="WaPo2019">

Therefore it is high time to '''act''' and to '''[[Current and possible laws and their application#Law proposal to ban visual synthetic filth|ban unauthorized synthetic pornography]]''', build the '''[[Adequate Porn Watcher AI (concept)]]''' to protect humanity from visual synthetic filth and to '''[[Law proposals#Law proposal to ban unauthorized modeling of human voice|criminalize covert modeling of the naked human voice and synthesis from a covert voice model]]!'''

'''Covert modeling''' poses growing threats to 
# The right to be the only one that looks like me (compromised by [[digital look-alikes]])
# The right to be the only one able to make recordings that sound like me (compromised by [[digital sound-alikes]])

And these developments have various severe effects on the right to privacy, provability by audio and video evidence and deniability.
