must see, really extraordinary! -- "This technology may someday be used to build cameras that can look "around" corners or see inside the body without X-rays." See also computational photography, http://femtophotography.info where Raskar is Project Director at MIT Media Lab: "We exploit the simple fact that the photons statistically will trace the same path in repeated pulsed illuminations. By carefully synchronizing the pulsed illumination with the capture of reflected light, we record the same pixel at the same exact relative time slot millions of times to accumulate sufficient signal. Our time resolution is 1.71 picosecond and hence any activity spanning smaller than 0.5mm in size will be difficult to record."
