Yeah, that is pretty wild.

I recall a co-worker doing something related(?) for a kind of fun tech demo some ten years or so ago. If I recall it was shooting video while passing a slightly ajar office door. His code reconstructed the full image of the office from the "traveling slit".

I think about that all the time when I find myself in a public bathroom stall.... :-/

Walk past a closed bathroom stall fast enough and you can essentially do that with your own eyes. Or stand there and quickly shift your head side to side. Just don't do it on one that's occupied, that's not cool.

Only in the US. The rest of the world has doors without a gap at the sides.

Doors in Vietnam are exactly the same as in the US.

You clearly haven't traveled much so you should refrain from sweeping generalisations.

I don't quite know how to respond to that.
