“We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”

    You know what else let’s you see through walls? Windows. (Suck it, Linux users!)

    If I didn’t have a reason for why Ethernet is superior, I have one now!

    I am going to repeat myself forever it seems. We got it wrong when we decided that you only have privacy when someone can’t physically see what you are up to. Nothing else is treated this way. You are not allowed to drive as fast as your car can physically move. You are not allowed to go into anything locked as long as you are able to pick it. You are not allowed to steal whatever you want as long as no one tackles you for it. And yet somehow some way it became understood that merely because someone can get a photo of you they have the legal right to do so.

    As if access to better technology means you should follow less moral rules vs the opposite. Someone with a junk camera of the 80s can do far less perving compared to the new cameras+drones out there.

        Nah, you’re good. For some of us it’s the first time seeing it, and I really liked reading what people far more familiar with this tech have to say about it here, including that it’s old news for them. So thank you, seriously, for posting it.

    Duh? I don’t think anyone with the right field of study thought this wasn’t possible. It just doesn’t have good use cases.

      Full body vr tracking without sensors?

      The human presence sensors based on this are already on the consumer market, we just need to dial up the sensitivity.

      There are already smart light bulbs you can buy off the shelf that use radio signals to see when somebody is in the room. Then it can turn on the lights automatically, without a camera or infrared sensor in the area.
