Emily Elert reports on a breakthrough in optic technology that would allow firefighters’ infared cameras to see clear images of victims behind smoke and flames:
[I]n the midst of a raging inferno, heat from the flames will overwhelm the camera’s sensors and obscure nearby objects. Researchers in Italy may have found a solution: a digital imaging system that captures infrared signals in 3-D and converts them to holographic video in real-time, thus allowing firefighters to distinguish flames from heat-emitting objects behind them.
