Seeing Through Walls
from the who-needs-walls? dept
dsg writes in with a link to this story about a company that has built a device to "see through walls". It's main purpose is to help rescuers in disaster zones find people who are buried under rubble. It's basically a small radar system that can detect minute movements. Apparently, the device came about as a result of other research being done on putting radars on cars to prevent collisions. Both applications sound pretty useful to me.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

The privacy aspect would be moot because you would only need limited range ( the girl in the shower would be safe ).
