How Cool! MIT Visual Camera!

What do you guys think about the new discovery they've made not needing ANY mics to record sound! Guess that's the end of privacy - newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/algorithm-recove...from-vibrations-0804

I think using a simple microphone to record the audio is still a little more effective than having to record the video with a 80.000 dollar high-speed camera just to be able to extract the audio from the video.

Of course of course Ronnie but can you imagine once the technology has matured and being able to hear sound in places we could never reach or maybe even where microphones just aren't sensitive enough to "hear" those micro sounds from electron micro scopes.

Just cool I guess, not great for privacy of course and that can be done now.

Yeah, I was just kidding. But you are correct: this could be another significant threat to people's privacy sponsored by Adobe and, of course, Microsoft.

What privacy?
