A company in Israel has developed a new 3D-imaging sensor that can let you 'see' inside walls using your smartphone. The device, called Walabot, can look through walls to detect structural foundations, plastic and metal pipes, electrical wires and studs. "Walabot instantly turns a smartphone into a powerful 3D-imaging system at your fingertips," company officials said. Apart from various sample apps, Walabot also gives makers and inventors around the world the opportunity to develop content that takes advantage of the 3D imaging sensor technology. "Walabot makes highly sophisticated imaging technology approachable, affordable and usable for everyone," said Raviv Melamed, CEO and co-founder of Vayyar Imaging, a 3D-imaging sensor company based in Israel.
