The company plans to add an AI layer to convert the radio-frequency data into photorealistic images.", "body_md": "Introducing Applied Electrodynamics.\nWhat would the world look like if we could see beyond visible light, across the entire electromagnetic spectrum?\nThe way waves interact with matter, at every wavelength, encodes far more than just shape and color. It reveals internal structure, temperature, chemical composition, and more: a whole layer of the physical world that's invisible to us today.\nThat's what we're building at Applied Electrodynamics: the infrastructure to fully perceive the physical world.\nWaveSight is the first piece of the puzzle. It brings radio frequencies into human perception, revealing the internal structure of objects behind opaque layers. Designed for construction crews, industrial inspectors, and security personnel.\nSee through walls:\n\n- Such an easy win to just add an AI image layer on top that simply says: Turn this into a photorealistic image preserving, and carefully enhancing, the shape and positional details with high fidelity.\n# Join the conversation", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/applied-electrodynamics-yc-s26-a-new-kind-of-camera-that-can-see-through-walls", "canonical_source": "https://twitter.com/bavser/status/2082868602240385526", "published_at": "2026-08-01 06:36:21+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-01 07:22:33.564416+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["computer-vision", "generative-ai", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Applied Electrodynamics", "WaveSight", "Y Combinator"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/applied-electrodynamics-yc-s26-a-new-kind-of-camera-that-can-see-through-walls", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/applied-electrodynamics-yc-s26-a-new-kind-of-camera-that-can-see-through-walls.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/applied-electrodynamics-yc-s26-a-new-kind-of-camera-that-can-see-through-walls.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/applied-electrodynamics-yc-s26-a-new-kind-of-camera-that-can-see-through-walls.jsonld"}}
