Intel launches x-ray-like glasses that allow wearers to 'see inside' objects

Smart augmented reality helmet allows wearers to overlay maps, schematics and thermal images to effectively see through walls, pipes and other solid objects

Intel has launched a set of glasses built into a helmet that give x-ray-like vision using its RealSense 3D camera.

The glasses-cum-hardhat was unveiled at CES in Las Vegas and has been co-developed with augmented reality company Daqri using Intel's latest processor and camera technology. It has taken concepts - like those of Microsoft's Hololens - and produced a real product.
