This video shows how scientists at the MIT Media Lab (www.media.mit.edu/) reconstruct a hidden object using scattered laser light. Future applications may include seeing in dangerous or inaccessible locations, such as inside machinery with moving parts, or in highly contaminated areas.

    I have an experience. One night when I was sleeping in the dark room, I suddenly saw a plenty blue laser dot plied me. I thought maybe someone secretly using camera like this to annoy me. then I felt there was something make my eyelids open. I know that's not black magic but science. What's name or type of the camera like this? where I can buy? and how much the price?

    You have little insight. you can filter wavelenghts of light ofcourse. It may not be practical yet, but I can think of a few great ways of using this.
