Some of these applications might require a little time to fully develop but we now know that the underlying physics should allow us to solve these and other problems through a clever combination of new technology and computational ingenuity.
I remember talking about this with a “spy” in 1988.
With my OM 2n, I could run around with a light and the shutter would close when it calculated the film was exposed.
In the dark, this could take a while.
This is just a bit faster.
I think that in the near future (10-20 years) as display technology gets better, smaller, and cheaper, you will eventually have a TV room, where the entire room is literally the TV, the screen is integrated into the walls (and maybe even ceiling and floor) as sheets sort of like wallpaper. This would result in a sort of poor man’s holodeck which you would appear to be “in” the movie or TV show you are watching.
I think I heard TSA scanners produce such images? I recall seeing one which clearly showed the butt crack of people.
"...??..so she'll never know eh?"
I want a thermal camera in my phone.
That’s not seeing through walls.
The L16 camera is $1950. I am going to have to know a lot more about this camera and the photos it takes before I spring that many Hamiltons for a compact camera.
It sounds like fascinating technology but that is a lot of cash.
Raster scan xray systems exist. Incorporating the technology into a camera sized package would be quite the trick.
Did someone get pissed off because we have too much privacy?
For some unexplainable reason, I don’t think this is fun.
