"turning ordinary surfaces into mirrors revealing faint shadows cast on nearby surfaces we can’t see with naked eye, in 3D using ordinary inexpensive digital camera... car crashes, self-driving cars, hostage situations, search-and-rescue, military... future:  more sensitive cameras, faster computing power, improved  algorithm which is still in its development phase"
