Why it’s Breakthrough: It’s a battery-operated camera that’s essentially hand-held X-Ray vision. It uses microwave imaging to enable the user to “see” through solid objects.

The Story: Walleye™ Technologies, creator of the Walleye Imaging System that is capable of “seeing” into and through solid objects uses invisible wavelengths, called millimeter waves, to see into and through objects and generate high-quality digital images. This breakthrough technology enables the development of imaging systems that are far smaller and lighter than today’s large stationary machines, without sacrificing image quality.

“Walleye’s imaging technology is revolutionary in terms of portability and affordability for microwave imaging,” said Christopher P. Adams, CEO of Walleye Technologies and co-inventor of the Walleye Imaging System. “The technology has broad application potential for security, industrial inspection and manufacturing, as well as in the consumer market.”

Utilizing the Walleye imaging technology platform, Walleye has developed a camera that is the first to deliver microwave imaging technology in a portable, handheld, battery-powered device. This camera is well suited for the home repair and construction industries, and the company expects to begin consumer sales of the camera in 2010.
