handheld radar: the future of X-ray vision

A portable device the the size of a textbook promises to give army and security personnel the x-ray vision of Superman…only without the x-rays. 
The prototype Sprint system, developed by Cambridge Consultants, uses short range radar to peer inside solid objects and produce a 3D image of the interior on its display screen.

Then there's the Prism, a handheld short range radar device that allows you to see rough images of moving objects behind a wall up to 20 meters. It’s been around since 2005.
