This reminds me of MIT’s work on femto-photography to see around corners. They used ultrafast laser pulses to bounce light off walls, capturing the reflections from hidden objects. By analyzing the time-of-flight data, they could reconstruct 3D shapes of objects not in direct view. <https://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar/cornar/>



Using a projector and computing the light field (i.e. single pixel, controlled light source) it is also possible to look around corners.

It's probably easier to achieve than time of flight of photons.


That's exactly what I was expecting given he [original] video title.
