Seeing Through | Guy Satat | TEDxBeaconStreet

Why can't you see through frosted glass, when it's the same material as a window? Why can't you see through fog, when water is transparent? Because these materials refract light rays and jumble the information that arrives at the human eye, making it impossible to form a clear picture. Guy has come up with a way to unjumble the picture, which may lead to medical and other innovations in the near future.
