YC-Backed Applied Electrodynamics Builds a Camera That Sees Through Walls
Y Combinator · youtube · 2026-10-03
- Applied Electrodynamics, a YC-backed startup, is building cameras that can "see" through walls and other opaque materials.
- The system uses radio waves to penetrate drywall, marble, and similar surfaces, locating studs, pipes, cables, junction boxes, and other hidden objects, then converts the data into a dimensionally accurate 3D model.
- Potential applications include pre-renovation wall scanning and building/pipeline inspection.
