Nokia and the Australian university to create a mobile application that can "see through walls"

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Scientists of the Australian University University of South Australia in conjunction with Nokia have developed an application that enables mobile phones to "see through walls. This is one of the realizations of the so-called supplemented reality (augmented reality). The application is available in three versions - X-ray Vision, Meltvision and Distortvision. The meaning of the application in that it will show the objects that are in reality invisible to the user, for example, are hidden around the corner or blocked by a wall. It will use three-dimensional terrain models.



Regarding the three versions of the application, they actually differ in the way "to cope" with hindering the review sites. Thus, X-ray Vision makes them transparent, Meltvision makes "melt" and Distortvision distorts the image so that you can see objects invisible to the reality. It is possible that after some time (unlikely soon) support this technology will have mobile phones Nokia.
