As a kid growing up one of my many fascinations along with millions of other kids, was the idea to have X-Ray vision. EvenĀ  though I knew it would never be possible, I was wrong until today.

According to GadgetVenue.com, researchers at Carnagie Mellon have created an application for automobiles that allows the driver to see around corners as they are approached. This is done by having two cameras operating at the same time. One of the camera records what the driver sees, and another camera records whats around the corner.

When combining both video feeds together they are in a superimposed over one another to create the illusion of seeing ‘around the corner’. Does all of this sound to strange to believe? Well, if you believed in X-Ray vision, watch it in action now!
