Walabot DIY is a 3D imaging sensor that magnetically attaches to your smartphone and, combined with the Walabot app, lets you peer Superman-style through your walls to see the location of wires, studs, pipes and even unwanted house guests.
It’s developed by Vayyar, a company specialising in 3D imaging who first developed the technology for the medical industry to be used in breast cancer screenings.
Once you’ve you locked your phone in to the Walabot sensor (it draws its power from your handset via USB) and activated the companion app, you then have a choice of three modes.
