When we have a robot that can use this method for sight, it will be able to dodge and move around anything that attacks it.

There are already systems of computer sight for robots that allow for ridiculous dexterity.

This will make the T10000 invincible.

It's not an actual movie. It's a reconstruction of made from several photographs.

From: http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar/trillionfps/

"... We use an indirect 'stroboscopic' method that records millions of repeated measurements by careful scanning in time and viewpoints. Then we rearrange the data to create a 'movie' of a nanosecond long event. ... However, due to very short exposure times (roughly two trillionth of a second) and a narrow field of view of the camera, the video is captured over several minutes by repeated and periodic sampling. ...

It is absolutely insane that we can see the space-time continuum being warped with this.
