When I first saw this (extracting audio from visual vibrations): http://news.mit.edu/2014/algorithm-recovers-speech-from-vibr... it seemed incredible that the signal the cameras could capture was strong enough. This work is even cooler, even more non obvious and seems closer to wizardry.

Yup, MIT.

#16What exactly are the implications of this for construction engineering, which must already have some way of measuring vibrations? I.e. does this measure something previously unmeasurable, or is it just that the visualization provides an extra channel for interpreting the data? Or is it that it would make this kind of tool available to anyone with a digital camera?
The vibrational modes of a structure are a sort of signature. When it changes, that means something in the structure has changed. Perhaps a beam has rusted or buckled, or bolts have come loose, or concrete has cracked. This is traditionally tested by placing accelerometers in the structure, but it might be much cheaper if you could do it with a camera.

That's an awesome "real world" example of where this could be used.

Ah, come on, it's pretty cool. :) And they do have a publications page: http://www.interactivedynamicvideo.com/publications.html
I'm all for science being promoted/marketed, even if it's in a(n endearingly) dorky way. And there are some fun use cases for this to boot (see the Pokemon GO / AR vid below).
