Creating lasting, impactful solutions is a growing need in the world today. Many new technologies are introduced and soon after disappear, or they are made into products that often have little to no effect on the several emerging markets across the globe. At the Media Lab, we are diving headfirst into an investigation of methods to create and implement new technologies so that they not only last, but are able to impact the lives of millions around the world.

The Lab’s Camera Culture group has been a key part of this effort with their work in “crazy science.” Led by associate professor Ramesh Raskar, their projects include the development of terahertz imaging to read books page-by-page without opening them, cameras that use ultrafast imaging to see around corners, and imaging that can see through optical barriers such as darkness or fog.
