In 1990 Otal and Croke independently proved that the marked length spectrum of a geodesic flow on a surface of negative curvature determines its Riemannian structure up to isometries. The goal of this talk will be to introduce the same problem for chaotic billiards and to present a 'toy model' for this problem with the idea that this simplified model could shed on light on the original problem.
