Topic: Scientists developing 'X-ray vision' (Read 365 times)

Wow that will be a good product to buy. If i can get my own x rays from the house without visiting the hospital that will be great. But my worry is the possible side effects of the radiation. It can be carcinogenic.

Then many of men will use it and abuse it fore some dirty doing

When I was a child there were plenty of "X-ray" glasses on sale in the magazines, which you could use to see naked women. I have never bought one, but I guess perhaps this project is similar

This could be very usefull to us. But it also has negative side.. As we all know any kind of rays that are taken to much by any living thingbis a bad thing. maybe they will find a way for that disadvantage.

I think this would be a wonderful discovery and can help save millions of lives or improve it to levels that we are just dreaming about before. X ray vision kf used properly can keep and maintain peace while if tampered wrongly can be a cause for concern.

If sell on public I will buy it 
Can see everything in clearly, include what we (man) want to see.....
I saw many xray vision using phone, I don't know is it true or not.

X-ray vision, a comic book fantasy for decades, is becoming a reality in a US lab.

A group of researchers led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Dina Katabi has developed software that uses variations in radio signals to recognize human silhouettes through walls and track their movements.

Researchers say the technology will be able to help health care providers and families keep closer tabs on toddlers and the elderly, and it could be a new strategic tool for law enforcement and the military.

"Think of it just like cameras, except that it's not a camera," said Fadel Adib, a researcher on the MIT team developing the device.

"It's a sensor that can monitor people and allow you to control devices just by pointing at them," he said.

Work began in 2012 to determine how wireless signals could be used to "see" what's happening in another room, said Katabi, who directs the MIT Wireless Center.

"At first we were just interested ... can you at all use wireless signals to detect what's happening in occluded spaces, behind a wall, couch, something like that," Katabi said.

"It turned out that we were able to detect that. And when we figured out we could detect that, we started asking more advanced questions: Could we use it to detect exactly how people are moving in a space if they are behind a wall?"

The device displays the signal on a screen, where the person's movements can be tracked in real time. It depicts the target as a red dot moving around the room, occupying a chair and speeding up or slowing down.

The wireless signals used to track a person's motions also can measure the individual's breathing and heart rate - and potentially identify the person based on the shape of his or her skeleton, said researcher Zach Kabelac.

"The person won't be wearing anything on them, and the person it's tracking doesn't even need to know the device is there," Kabelac said.

"If something unfortunate happens to them, like a fall, the device will contact the caregiver that they chose to alert" by generating a text message or an email, he added.

That makes health care applications especially interesting, Katabi said. But she also sees military and law enforcement possibilities - particularly in hostage situations.

"You don't want to send the police inside without knowing where the people are standing or where the hostages are," she said. "If there is someone with a gun, where they are standing?"

A company set up to market the technology, now dubbed Emerald, will spin out of the MIT lab next year, with a goal of marketing the device early in 2017, and it's expected to sell for $US250-$US300 ($A348-$A418), Adib said. The team is working to make the device smaller and to develop an interface that will let users configure it through a smartphone app, Katabi added.
