Holy Ultrawideband Wall-Penetrating Camera, Batman!

CNET's Michael Kanellos reports that Camero, an Israeli company that's developed a camera called the Xaver 800 which uses ultrawideband to see through Walls, has raised $14 million from investors including Greylock Partners, Motorola Ventures and Walden.


"The Xaver800 doesn't technically capture images directly," Kanellos writes. "Instead, it issues ultrawideband signals and the data harvested is then used to create 3D models of things the signals bounced off of. The trick is that the camera can capture the signals in cluttered environments or through solid objects."


And in case you were wondering... no, you can't buy one to check out the goings-on in the flat next door: the camera is only available to military and police agencies.


Camero's press release is here.
