I always love that scene in Batman where he's hacked everyone's phone to see all their cameras.

It looks like everyone in the world is standing around everywhere pointing their phone cameras in the most convenient directions to give a great view of streets, rooms and hallways everywhere.

In real life, if you tuned into people's cameras right now, fifty percent would be the inside of pockets, purses or clothing. A quarter would be pointed at blank walls, ceilings, floors or the sky. And the rest would be terribly close close-ups of people faces or the shower/bathroom/sink.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't the cameras, it was the microphones. It was able to recreate 3d scenes with some kind of sonar algorithm (probably by combining the microphones from multiple people in the same room?) (I actually really liked Batman using sonar). 3d images from microphones still sounds farfetched but, may actually be possible soon

Saw a tiktok where they trained ai to use wifi signals like a camera to identify locations of humans in a room

Phones also work as Wi-Fi emitters so if you hacked a whole network of them it could work on phones too

I mean, Batman's software could probably filter out that stuff and show only the ones that are actually useful.
