Seeing through walls - MIT's Lincoln Laboratory

Video: Melanie Gonick

The ability to see through walls is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Thanks to new radar technology developed at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory a system has been built by researchers that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side.

Would b lil easier if used high sound waves combined with thermal cameras can give better accurate pic of room n the ppl. In my opinion

i have thinking of this device and planning to purchase it in small portable form .

Please contact forexbroker@live.com if you are going to sell it .

was done at University of Utah a couple years ago.

@13hlupak The majority (99.4%) of the signal is reflected by the wall going in (and also coming back through the wall!), so the signal they have to pick up is 0.0025% of the signal that is transmitted. I would imagine that requires a lot of antennae to pick up!

TESLA's appropriated invention(s).

nice work, but how many receiving/transmitting antennas you've got there? :)

have you tried less antennas to get results like these?
