Y Combinator spotlighted its portfolio company Applied Electrodynamics, which builds cameras that can see through walls and other opaque materials.
- Uses radio waves to penetrate surfaces like drywall or marble
- Can locate studs, pipes, cables, and junction boxes hidden behind surfaces
- Turns the detections into a dimensionally accurate 3D model, with applications in construction, renovation, and utility inspection
