Camera jockeys who spend their days shooting passport photos are an evil lot. They are cut from the same filthy photography cloth as the demented DMV employees who wait until you are scowling or yawning to snap your driver’s liscense photos; a close relative to the sinister creepsters who made you tilt your head just so for grade school pictures; a distant cousin to the makeup-caked smiler that did your mom’s Glamour Shots; and a possible twin to the malicious eye behind the police mugshot photo of your favorite fallen celebrity.

No matter what state or country they work in, this team of visual art villains is waiting to not only capture, but illuminate all the cowlicks, wrinkles, double chins, sunburns, and bad smiles you’ve spent your life trying to hide from the public. And if Samsung’s new flexible O-LED thin film video passport gets picked up by the government these brutes will have the opportunity to embarrass you from not just one, but all angles.

The passport contains a small “video” (really a series of images) that simulates a 360 view of the passport holder’s head. The moving image is displayed on a thin film page that contains an active matrix of pixels, each of which are independently controlled by an energy source.

In this case that energy source is simply radio frequencies. There are no batteries or cables involved. Moving the passport closer to a tuned radio source lights up the video of the passport holder.

Check out the video above to get a sense of what the future of terrible passport photography could hold, then thank your own personal deity that this technology was not available when the pictures below were taken.
