MIT can now eavesdrop through soundproof glass by watching the vibrations of a bag of chips

2014-08-07 14:01:19| Extremetech

With a breakthrough that sounds more like the plot from the latest instalment of James bond than an academic research paper, engineers at MIT have managed to recover speech by analyzing the tiny vibrations of a potato chip bag from 15 feet away -- with a video camera watching through soundproof glass. There are some obvious security and forensics repercussions from this work, but other interesting uses will surely emerge (such as recovering audio from silent film, perhaps?)
