Idea: See Through Rain While Riding Your Motorcycle

<table cellspacing="0" align="left" border="0" width="110" cellpadding="5"><tr><td><div class="Pict"><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/motorbiker/newspics4/invisible-rain-headlights.jpg" width="100" height="87" title="invisible rain headlights" alt="invisible rain headlights" style="border:1px solid white;"></div></td></tr></table>#Technology #Rain #Safety - Riding your motorcycle in rain is no fun especially at night, but the real danger is that rain makes it more difficult to see. It's like trying to see the bottom of a pool. When rain comes down in big quantities, the rain drops throw up a screen that makes our vision of what is ahead blurry. Couple with that your motorcycle's headlights illuminating the drops and you have a sure recipe for disaster.<br><br>

But Intel together with Carnegie Melon University are developing technology that will enable you to see through rain (and the other forms of rain, snow and hail). They are using a camera that is stuck inside the headlight assembly, and when it detects rain, it anticipates the path the rain is taking. Since it know (more or less) where the raindrop will be, it can block out the rain drops that would normally be illuminated by your headlights.. <br><br>

In other words, it scrubs the rain from your field of vision, a bit like Photoshopping a fat roll from your favorite Playboy Centerfold........... <br><br>
