ELT's, interferometers and their multi-aperture direct-imaging form called hypertelescopes are expected to provide images of exo-Earths, and even resolved images in the latter case. Both terrestrial and space versions are potentially usable, although high-performance adaptive optics will be needed on Earth. Current advances in the way of hypertelescopes on Earth and in space are briefly described.
