Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

The title says it all and excuse me for saying but this sounds like a flashlight a super hero would have in it's bag. Chris O'Shea, an electronics programmer that graduated in England from MediLab Arts at the University of Plymouth, is the one that designed the X-Ray Flashlight, with infrared technoloy coded in C++ using openFrameWorks which is a set of libraries for artists and designers.

 

If we get into the details of programming I am sure one article won't do it. Therefore I think you should know that the Xray flashlight has been inspired from Supermans powers and that building the whole device took Chris O'Shea only one week. I guess this is what it takes to create a gadget that allowes to see through the walls.

 

I do have one problem with it. Will it bring any medical issues if there are people in the other room? What about privacy, if my neighbour can see me with my wife working on a baby? The answers make me think it won't be mass produced.

If you don't think the technology works, then you can go to London before October 14th at the Design Museum and see it working.
