The first camera that can see round corners has been shown off by MIT researchers.

People lurking behind a wall - or buried after an earthquake - can clearly be seen in 3D using the camera, which fires ultrafast laser pulses at walls 'behind' the area that can't be seen, to capture a ghostly 3D reflection.

1. That sounds much more effective than my method.

Which involves a cheap camera, a stick, and duct tape.
