TED: New video technology that reveals an object's hidden properties | Abe Davis

The video explores the concept of capturing subtle motions that are invisible to the human eye using technology developed at MIT. This technology, called the emotion microscope, amplifies these motions in videos, allowing us to visualize phenomena like a pulse or breathing. The video further delves into the idea of using video to capture sound vibrations, effectively turning objects into visual microphones. Through various experiments, the challenges and potential of this technology are discussed, highlighting its applications in fields like surveillance and interactive simulations. The video concludes by emphasizing the future potential of this technology in capturing and interacting with real-world objects.
