<i>&#62;A standard Wi-Fi router could be adapted to function as a receiver.</i><p>The article and the embedded video do not make it entirely clear but if this technology could be deployed in existing Wi-Fi routers with relative ease [1] then it could have far-going implications for both privacy and the physical security of anywhere where there's Wi-Fi. Once it's easy enough to deploy on a hacked device that a hired script kiddie can do it even simple burglars could take an interest in residential routers to know when nobody's home.<p>I wonder if this will affect the market for embedded Linux security consulting in a major way.<p>[1] I.e., without modifying the hardware and with no need for manual calibration.

This sounds a lot like the mobile phone sonar that Batman used in the Dark Knight which seemed utterly ridiculous to me and many others at the time:<p><a href="http://sfblunders.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/dark-knight-sonar-phones/" rel="nofollow">http://sfblunders.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/dark-knight-sonar...</a>

Ok DD-WRT folks, get to it :-) More seriously though, this is a pretty cool thing, using your motion which is blocking wireless signals to detect motion. In hindsight its kind of obvious since people are 'giant waterbags of attenuation' as my RF buddy calls them. This also means you can probably add something of a burglar alarm/motion sensor system to these things, and if you were careful you might be able to see the movement of people inside a house by looking at the WiFi signal leaving the house. Certainly if you're carrying around and active phone/tablet that would be trivial to do from outside (and by trivial I mean you would have lots of signal to work with and the math would be straight-forward, not that it would be simple)

Oh the possibilities of this - may be with enough data - you can just wander around a suburb and figure out which houses are currently occupied and which ones are not. - improve aged care by monitoring walking patterns - combine it with some more ingenious technology for localised sound -- you can beam music as I walk around the house (or block out sounds)? - a bit more sensitivity and we can even probably pick up a person while they are having or just about to have a heart attack?<p>I am sure the privacy folk out there are having multiple heart palpitations.<p>All I want to say is "bring it on"

I've often wondered is to what extent existing RF noise as "illumination" could be leveraged to effect some kind of passively acquired representation of objects. Resolution would of course be limited by wavelength but improved if the antenna array was physically moving in a describable manner. We had useful SAR during the cold war and orders of magnitude more compute power today. If you know of more efforts along these lines from hacker to research level, please post a link.

Can this differentiate between multiple humans gesturing at the same time (intentional or otherwise)?<p>What about pets moving around or turning the shower on?

So this was basically an S-band radar with a home wifi router? Can we make a mosquito zapper lazer with it?

Love this idea. However 94% accuracy is not good enough. You need to be able to trust your action will lead to the desired result. 94% is like Siri getting your whole text message right, but getting the recipient wrong.

Just wondering, do standard wi-fi chipsets provide the raw signals needed to implement things depending on spectrum-analysis like this? Some super-raw mode? How about Bluetooth chips? Sound chips (for supersonic)?

Great; so next time I sneeze, I'll accidentally turn on the garbage disposal?<p>Seriously, though, it reminds me of the "house of the future" from one of those ubiquitous films they showed us in elementary school way back in the day.

Honestly, the most exciting aspect of this would be in being able to just have a passive scanning system that can identify where in the house my kids are.

Could be useful in prisons to keep tabs on the general population without having to use cameras.

I'm nowhere near to be techno-apocalyptic, but I just thought that from a "1984" point of view it could be a tool to monitor activities without no permission at all.

This strongly reminds me of A Deepness in the Sky, albeit the implementation is different and the resolution is probably nowhere near the fictional stuff.

If used right, this would disrupt home security industry so hard. It would be possible to get rid of any motion detectors, if I am not mistaken.

This is so cool!! I wonder how far off it is to commercial deployment and what licensing plans they may have.

How would you get started with this technology or stay updated with this project? I'm keen on its prospects.
