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.

    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.

    Is this really practical...? I mean this camera is taking in extremely small amounts of light (and is probably doing it in darkness).. If it was during the day wouldn't there be tons of light that got into the camera?
