Backpack to the future: The device that lets you see through walls (video)

A British company has developed a backpacked-sized machine that lets you see through walls.

The Prism 200c looks through solid objects then displays an image of what is on the other side on a hand-held screen.

It is the first time such a device has been manufactured small enough for just one person to use.

Makers Cambridge Consultants expect it will be used by law enforcement agencies, emergency services or soldiers in ‘high-risk and hostile situations with minimal time and very narrow margin for error’.
