DARPA's 'Virtual Eye' lets soldiers see around obstacles
Intel's virtual FreeD replay tech used in the NBA and other sports is cool, but it requires a lot of cameras and GPU horsepower. DARPA, the US military's science fiction arm, thinks the same technology could give soldiers and rescuers better situational awareness.

The system fuses two images into a live synthetic 3D scene using just a powerful laptop and a pair of cameras.
