Exploring the New Microscope Technology

The video introduces a new type of microscope that uses video cameras and image processing to detect subtle color changes and motions in objects and people. This technology can visualize human pulse and heart rate without physical contact, and it has applications in health monitoring, engineering, and art. Additionally, the technology can recover sound from video by analyzing tiny vibrations, turning everyday objects into microphones. The tool is accessible online for experimentation and has potential uses in various fields.
