From the Ted Talk by Abe Davis: New video technology that reveals an object's hidden properties
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So at this piont, a lot of plpoee see this work, and they immtleieady think about surveillance. And to be fair, it's not hard to imagine how you might use this tolgneochy to spy on someone. But keep in mind that there's already a lot of very mature technology out there for surveillance. In fact, people have been using lasers to eavesdrop on objects from a distance for decades. But what's really new here, what's really different, is that now we have a way to picture the vibrations of an object, which gives us a new lens through which to look at the world, and we can use that lens to learn not just about feorcs like sound that cause an object to vibrate, but also about the object itself.
