My sci-if part of my brain tells me that in 10-20 years we’ll see small box-like devices that you attach to a key/peep hole or perhaps with a built in silent needle puncher that creates a small hole on-demand. Perhaps with a moving laser that would imagine still objects too.
Combine that with AR glasses and you would have a useful pre-breach tool for police/military.

- Spooky23 5y agoI’m sure something like this exists somewhere already. I bought a tiny camera on the end of a 50’ coax cable to fix a plumbing issue on Amazon for $40… that tech was James Bond stuff 30 years ago!
- bufferoverflow 5y agoDid it help with the plumbing issue?
- HWR_14 5y agoAs far as I know, the military and SWAT already use boroscope style cameras with microlenses to see inside pre-breach. I'm not sure this is an improvement
- dogma1138 5y agoBoroscopes require you to have physical access and in some cases drill the hole. This can probably be developed to be a remote sensing solution with quite a bit of range and with a non visible it won’t be noticeable to adversaries. This single laser technique also likely has implications for other NLOS imaging situations too for example imaging a force behind cover by illuminating an area within line of sight of both you and the target.
