Oh, those are very cool, until either the police or someone with less than noble intentions uses them to spy or peep on you through an uncurtained window. :wink:

Interesting how he describes the use or mis-use of the tech a "social" decision and not a moral decision. I'm not surprised, being at a TED talk, just rather disappointed.

Very cool demo. I wsa just pondering something like this and what it would take for a machine to pull this off the other day. Now I know; several math and robotic PHD's! :mrgreen:
