You never know what’s around the corner, but you also know never to say never — because in four years or so, you just might know exactly what’s hiding there.

The U.S. Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently awarded a $4.4 million grant to researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research and University of Wisconsin-Madison to design a “camera” that can see what’s literally out of sight.

Seven other universities also received grants to study “non-line-of-sight imaging” and its potential applications.
