Camera knows whats coming around the corner

Israelis did invent the first gun that is able to shoot around corners, helping you shoot your target without exposing yourself to danger. Well, I guess this is something less lethal, but interesting to look at nonetheless – a camera which is capable of capturing what is around the corner without the use of a snake-like tube. Basically, the camera will fire an extremely fast laser pulse at walls located ‘behind’ the area which cannot be seen, resulting in capturing a ghostly 3D reflection. This 3D reflection is constructed by a computer, which means what you see is somewhat similar to what you see around the corner, albeit without the use of a mirror this time around. Perhaps checking out the video above and you will be able to better understand how the principles of this new camera work. It is hoped that a future version of this camera system can be used by emergency responders, although I am quite sure that the military will also have more than a passing interest in such bouncing lights.
