Headset gives the Wearer X-ray Vision

• Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed an Augmented Reality (AR) headset called X-AR that can locate hidden items within a box or in corners. This AR headset gives the wearer an X-ray vision and its system utilizes Radio Frequency (RF) signals, capable of passing through common materials such as cardboard boxes, plastic containers or wooden dividers to find hidden items that have been labelled with RFID tags, which reflect signals sent by an RF antenna. 
• The researcher has used a technique known as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which is similar to how aeroplanes image objects on the ground. According to researchers, this device could help workers to locate objects for e-commerce orders.
