Laser camera can see around corners

What: A femtosecond laser camera captures images around the corner. Without being in direct line of sight, this camera composes images using reflected light. Light waves are gathered and algorithms implemented to develop the picture as if it were 3-D, using pixels.

Who: Prof. Ramesh Raskar leads a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab.

The Future: The applications of this new technology prove beneficial in defense, fire and rescue operations. Future imaging systems could aid in medical imaging and in automobile accident prevention.
