MIT perfects cheap, accurate through-wall movement and heartbeat detection with WiFi
2014-06-13 17:17:49| Extremetech
MIT's rather fabulous Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), after using humble WiFi waves to sense movement behind a wall, has now improved its technology to the point that it can remotely -- from behind a wall in another room -- can detect heart rate and respiration. MIT has successfully used this technology to noninvasively check a sleeping baby's breathing and pulse, and even to track the breathing of two adults simultaneously. Yes, there are videos of both feats embedded below.
