In an article today, an Australian professor, Dr. Christian Sandor, revealed that he is working with Nokia on an augmented reality app that would provide a kind of X-Ray vision to see through buildings. The professor says that app should be ready in two years.
The app is being built using 3D models in Google Earth combined with Google Street View and using a user’s GPS coordinates. In theory, users will be able to point their camera at a building to be able to see through a building to the building behind it (but not into the building, according to the professor, although we could certainly see retail business applications for such an app).
Also in the works are apps called Meltvision and Distortvision, which are explained in the article like this:
“Meltvision works using a similar process to the X-ray vision application, but the image of the front of the building ”melts away” to reveal what is behind. Distortvision alters the mobile video image so that objects out of the line of sight can be ”bent” into vision.”
Watch out Superman.
Wow. This is cool. But is this even possible? I mean, people can't do it in the previous years and yet they are working on it now. Considering the technology we have today, I think we still need more sophisticated technologies to achieve this.
Is this really possible? It will be a great invention when its come true. Nokia is leading at this time but by this invention they rule on technology world.
WTF! FTW! LOL! LMAO! LMFAO!
