So they know where you sleep ?
I that hear if you type Lucious Fox into the system it destroys itself
Poor Edward Snowden. He warned many about all this data collection.
Yeah we know there are a lot of research being done with this. This require the WiFi router to have the firmware necessary for mass adoption. This is probably why the FCC was banning routers and allowing others to go through.

So turn you cell phone and home wifi off… nope neighbors wifi still has enough signal to identify you.
The idea the CIA or other government agency not knowing this ages ago is low, not a conspiracy guy but no way this wasn’t known before now.
Just going to drop this here for anyone that doubts (popular open source project)

You’d likely not be surprised to learn that high density WiFi installs in big box retailers already use tech like this.
If you see an AP every 250m2 or less, you can do some wild things.
This is super unsurprising. There have been proof of concept level papers about using wifi hotspots for keystroke detection on nearby keyboards for a decade or so. The jump from there to here seems extremely small.
Was this in the Batman movie? Lol
They showed this in one of the Batman movies like what? 15 years ago… this is not surprising technology.
This concept is not new, I remember people bullshitting about similar technology on something awful as far back as like 2004, maybe earlier
Edit: in fact I remember watching TDK in theaters and thinking “oh he got that plot from the internet”
I was given a demo of this by BT at their research park near Ipswich, UK. I was with a group of others. Everyone in the group voiced their concerns, no one was impressed. The BT guy seemed a bit shocked.
We need some kind of jamming signal then. I’d particularly like one for the bedroom… and one for the bathroom too.
Can identify people but not the person, right? Saw a demo of this. Its like an xray or infrared imaging, can make out objects, shapes, etc. I mean, if you turned it on in my house, you can assume its me.
And yet Reddit still can’t identify when people post the same story in the same place over and over and over again
With all the shit on my desk? Nah
repost story i see of a older paper already proven btw
Looks like I need a tinfoil suit to go with my hat
The story would be more believable if it were internally consistent.
>“Thus, it does not matter whether you carry a WiFi device on you or not.“
>Devices on a wireless network regularly send feedback data known as beamforming feedback information (BFI) to the router. Because this information is transmitted without encryption, anyone within range can potentially read it. Researchers say these signal reflections can effectively create multiple „views“ of a person, allowing AI systems to learn and recognize individual identities.
>Turning off your smartphone is not enough to avoid detection. According to the researchers, nearby wireless devices connected to the network still generate enough signal activity for the system to work.
If the technique depends on „nearby“ devices on that network, then turning off those devices will precisely counteract the attempt.
Also, if one reads the actual study, one finds it to be much less impressive than the breathless reporting would have one believe.
>To allow for an unobstructed gait recording, participants were instructed not to wear any baggy clothes, skirts, dresses or heeled shoes.

So literally what Batman did in Dark Knight that caused Morgan Freeman to quit. Cool cool cool.
This has been true for years and anyone can do it there are several projects for exactly this on GitHub with the entire code base open sourced
New depression unleashed.
CIA will be wondering why the hell do I carry a snake everywhere around the house.
So what is the mechanism? If you had a radio/microwave camera it makes sense that you could do imaging. But do home WiFi routers have any spatial resolving capability?
I don’t really get what is being measured to identify others
Everything that gets promoted here as the new shit is decades old for every gov agency. Tech and science is trickled down from them to civil
This isn’t news; this has been known for at least a decade.
Good job, now they can see an approximation of me sitting on my computer all day… they gonna blackmail me with the equivalent of an x-ray of me gooning or what?
I am actually using this with my smart lights. They can detect when someone enters the room with this technology and turn the lights on. It works like a movement sensor without needing to buy any sensor.
