You're listening to TED Talks Daily. I'm your host, Elise Hugh.

Until lately, X-ray vision was really only the stuff of superheroes.

But researcher Tara Borashaki is working on a technology that uses AI-powered

sensing of various environments and it's getting close to making X-ray vision a reality.

She shares the work in her 2023 talk from TEDX MIT salon after a break. As a teenager, was fascinated with a wizarding world. I wanted to be like

her money Granger I wanted to be a powerful witch with a wand. Out of all the spells I really liked

aqueo. I could say aqueo and name anything and it will fly into my hands.

Even if it's a restricted boot locked and hidden

inside the headmaster's office.

But as you might have noticed, I did not get into Hogwarts.

So I came to my backup school, MIT.

And I made my own magic.

I can now, I can have the spells now

that are even more powerful than herminis because I don't need a

wand.

I can see the invisible.

For example, I want to find my black shirt in my closet that I lost. I put on my

AR headset and I say, a QIO. We didn't matter of seconds, my shirt would light up.

Like I said, I can see the invisible.

So how does this spell work?

How did I made an AR headset able to see what my own eyes cannot see?

My trick is to use wireless signals like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
