"turn glossy objects into cameras... images object taken different angles converts surface into virtual sensor captures reflections... AI estimate depth... see around corners or beyond objects that block view... autonomous vehicles...  Objects as Radiance-Field Cameras (ORCa)... virtual pixels on object's surface model 3D POV object"
