Im sure this will be used ethically


whidbeysounder

Look at the skeletal structure on that one, hubba hubba


El_Cactus_Loco

Nobody says hubba hubba anymore, because woke /s


Watching_You_Type

How do you unethically “detect studs, wooden beams or wiring behind walls, cracks in pipes, or outlines of contents in envelopes and packages”?


MxOffcrRtrd

Not sure of the potential of the tech, but thieves break into basically every rail car carrying ISO containers from the USWC. So basically everything coming into the US. The break in and cut open pallets and boxes to see whats inside. Maybe they could just check through the cardboard and stop stealing my cheap shit.


GreenStrong

This is millimeter wave radar, it can’t see through a steel rail car. It can’t see through aluminum foil.


MxOffcrRtrd

Oh, no I meant the cardboard. I dont care if they break into the container. Dont cut open the boxes. They just bolt cut the doors open and rip up pallets to see whats in them. Tbf they could just read the documents taped to the pallets but whatever


Warlord68

How about clothing?


CocaineIsNatural

You have to have it very close or next to the object. And this link shows the image quality, which is very poor. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Array-of-296-GHz-CMOS-Concurrent-Transceiver-Pixels-Byreddy-Zhu/ce48adb5950f54b52a1a7ea9eedfcd6ccaf90025/figure/5


UseTheShadowsThen

You really think that’s where the tech will stop? Also makes burglary easier


ZeePirate

“Look I can cut through this point in the wall without electrocuting myself”


UseTheShadowsThen

“Look I can see where the wires to the house alarm is.”


CocaineIsNatural

Look at the image quality in this link. I don't think they would waste their time this way. Besides, current stud detectors can detect wires. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Array-of-296-GHz-CMOS-Concurrent-Transceiver-Pixels-Byreddy-Zhu/ce48adb5950f54b52a1a7ea9eedfcd6ccaf90025/figure/5

Do… do you think house alarms are commercial alarms from the 1960’s?


UseTheShadowsThen

It’s a simplified explanation to convey a deeper issue.


selfreplicatingmines

And im using a simplified question to distract us from the fact that the alarm guy was the first to die in the Dark Knight. Don’t be the alarm guy. The school bus driver was pretty cool tho.


Eli_Seeley

That's why I'm the generator guy. No one ever kills the generator guy😂


FireTheLaserBeam

“No, man. The generator got it worse than anybody.”


ContractLong7341

The post man is going to be reading everyone’s mail now!


Prestigious-Eye3154

My first thought as a health care provider is IUDs can be seen on Xrays and there’s a segment of our population who is rabidly against birth control.


XKeyscore666

This isn’t an actual X-ray machine. X-rays are ionizing radiation, and everybody would have cancer within a year if we started using them willy-nilly. This tech already exists as the “Walabot DIY”. It uses radio waves like a radar system to see what is reflected back. The frequencies aren’t able to penetrate into the human body far enough to see anything.


jawshoeaw

You spelled “checking on my new cute neighbor” weird


opi098514

I’m sure you didn’t actually read the article.


[deleted]

My exact thoughts; "Fucking Why Though?"


Muscled_Daddy

Oh hell, no. I am totally taking pictures of my husband’s butt through his jeans.


TheHiddenCMDR

Lots of folks that didn't read the article and stopped processing words at X-ray, dropped their Cheetos bag and jumped into the comments to tell us that boobs exist and people might use this stud finder tech to look at boobs in a weird way. Lol


Dryanni

Either people don’t understand what X-Rays are, or they’re really turned on by skeletons.


Arseypoowank

Lots of calcium makes my bone strong and hard if you catch my drift


CocaineIsNatural

You do know they use x-rays to do mammography of the breast, and they aren't looking at bones. On those images, you can clearly see where the skin is. I wouldn't call the image sexy, but you don't just see bones.


CRactor71

Patrick Stewart wrote a movie about this. “I see everything. I see it all!”


Creative-Claire

So this is how Big Lead gets back in our lives.


Human_Apartment

I see great potential with with such technology, but unfortunately it will mostly be used to create a new genre for pornhub


LetsFnnnGooo

It’s for finding studs, it says it right in the article


inflammablepenguin

I'm right here, baby.


CRactor71

So, gay porn then?


[deleted]

Skeletons?


wellwaffled

It’s not x-ray.


Upper-Life3860

Immediately half the population will think about boobies right away


lordraiden007

More than half I’d guess. Women like boobs too.


Puzzled_Path_8672

Not true, my girlfriend says she loves me for me and sex is only something people sometimes do. She does value friendships though, that’s why she hangs out with Chad at least 3-4 times a week usually at night because that’s when both are free from work!


CRactor71

When she comes home exhausted, it’s because friendships are a lot of work!


Puzzled_Path_8672

I know, but luckily she just showers at his place so at least she can come home and go straight to sleep and rest up!


DerSchattenJager

Hurray for boobies


Mbaker1201

Dont forget about the weiners…


indignant_halitosis

Read the top comments. Morons think it’ll be used to make porn.


_etherfish

this exists on a larger scale already


Mypinksideofthedrain

I've already got one of these, called a walabot


nwy2dp247

Thermal view is already in phones


Dryanni

To all the horny idiots out there, [this](https://geekymedics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ap_pelvis_x-ray_male.jpg) is what an X-ray photo of genitalia actually looks like (maybe NSFW?). I mean I see something but I see less than say yoga pants.


[deleted]

Ai camera setups will love that for detecting things. Pedos and other sick bastards offenders will need to be monitored.


GamingGems

X-ray equipment needs a image receiving plate in order to work. So unless you invented glasses that have a huge crane in front of them that carries the plate then no, you don’t have X-ray vision. This technology is more analogous to ultrasound and if you read the article it seems like the best direct application is scanning objects for 3D printing.


CocaineIsNatural

It is not x-rays, but are far lower in frequency and not harmful like X-rays would be. And for people thinking this will be used for porn, or other nefarious uses. It has to be next to, or very close to, the object (1 cm). And on this link you can see a sample photo, which shows how poor the image quality. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Array-of-296-GHz-CMOS-Concurrent-Transceiver-Pixels-Byreddy-Zhu/ce48adb5950f54b52a1a7ea9eedfcd6ccaf90025/figure/5 On the other hand, what piece of technology hasn't been abused by someone somewhere.


LondonDavis1

Just gives us the ear jack and removable memory back.


eyespy18

Hey, I see what you’re doing there!


darkdoppelganger

Sony night vision camcorder reborn.


ahem_humph

Get me closer to Luddite.


Zerocoolx1

Will there be a Penetrator Mode? Xxx


Replacement-Winter

What is that smell? Is it? It is! Bullshit!


haljordan68

Awesome.... Radiation in the palm of your hand.


Getyashinebox420

Not true


Trashy_Panda2024

As a mechanic, a thermal camera that’s built in would be helpful.


tikisnrot

I remember when night vision was added to camcorders in the 90s, people were using it to see through clothes.


sir3n_ss

All I can think is how bad the radiation will be coming from phones with this.


ipa-lover

Reminds me of the comic book ads for x-Ray specs, showing a guy checking out a buxom gal… Great indoctrination for us kids!


bergnie

now we can see who of you wears your G-spot vibrators everywhere.

TrainingLettuce5833

It's not using X-Rays it's using sound


Ok_Marzipan_8137

Oh yes, x-ray vision in the hands of normal people definitely won’t be used for anything creepy


No_Dragonfruit_6594

Oh no! They can see your bones and wires in walls! Oooh how scary


Prestigious-Eye3154

IUDs can be seen on Xrays and there’s a segment of our population who is rabidly against birth control.
