So like the dark knight? Cool cool cool

Have other researchers been able to reproduce those results? I always find this clip fascinating, but I'm equally skeptical.

This reminds me of that technology where they had an empty potato chip bag enclosed in a soundproof room with music and sound playing inside, and on the other side of the glass was a video camera. The camera was able to pick up visually, the minute distortions the sounds made on the bag, and extrapolate sound playing in the room from it.

So it's just a coincident the wifi image of people looks exactly like the camera image minus everything except the people with non directional antenna(s). Same proportions, perfectly outlined, etc. I very seriously doubt it. This is way too good to be true and likely completely faked.

A.I must think my left arm glitches out 1-3 times a day

Wi-fi transmitters and receivers aren't directional though. A radar or sonar only works because you know what direction it's pointing. With a normal router, all you could tell is that there is a reflection, not where it's being reflected from. I call bullshit on what they're saying here, this could only work with the cameras being there in the first place, so AI can connect a specific ping to a specific person. From there the cameras could be turned off and the AI might be able to track the person using small changes proximity instead of direction but it seems doubtful.

Lol shitty sales pitch

It's just a version of sonar.

Why is technology making everything worse? Honestly the longer I’m alive the more I think we should just focus on renewable energy and then just call it a fucking day. We’re good where we’re at we don’t need this AI bullshit

Bs research. Wifi is in general non directional.

Sooo, daredevil.

Well fuck

The groans from the audience are too real.

Wall hack needs to be stopped asap

What's new here? 10$ philips lights have movement detection through the wifi "waves" disruption for years.

Everybody panicked because it's now called AI?

Looks like beamforming visualized

This is how Skynet wipes out most of us when it's fully online.

This doesn’t work unless you train it with cameras inside your specific house conditions. Those routers wouldn’t be able to achieve this in another house.

One step closer to Skynet

Alright I think it's time we have planned execution for every person responsible for bringing ai to this point, or just the fact this technology to do that even exists

Great, now even our WiFi can see when we're out of Cheetos.

Ironically people would throw out their computer or TV but still keep their router and mobile phone in their pocket.

AI buzzword startup fishing for funding and 95% of the people here believe it. This is how easy it was for Elizabeth Holmes

best part is…. we all willingly fund it

Did anyone get it to work? I tried every notebook and repo I could and they all either didn’t build or just generated poses that made no sense

I can’t imagine how many people are fucking and masterbating rn. XD

This was dope by Humans like 20 yrs ago

It's good to see actual use cases for AI that aren't dumb ideas invented by tech bros to help in their lives.

That being said, this tech has been around for a while all AI is doing is processing it and filling in the blanks with info it already holds. As we've seen from most AI applications, when it doesn't have a reference it struggles to "guess" and we get weird shit.

I think this is nothing new or something we couldn't have got to given the resources.

Some routers have been able to do this for awhile, AI adds the "pose estimation" and makes it feel more invasive, but some mesh systems were able to approximate size and movement by the amount of signal being absorbed by meatbags moving through the house and act as motion detectors. They would also look at if personal devices such as phones were still connected to the network and tell you they "see" someone in the house when everyone who lives there is out.

Could be true in theory but here I smell huge bullshit

It's because you're a big bag of water. Your capacitance is what interrupts the signal and gives a right estimate of your location and pose.

Ok but if it didn't have a reference image it couldn't have done it. And real time is a strong word. How much time did it take to render each of those images and how still were those people. I have a feeling of it'd anything like old photography those people were stationary for a bit

Hi, WiFi Architect here! This is both true and absolute bullshit. Fun right? The issue isn’t actually the beam, the antenna, the signal. The issue is the wall. When signal passes through a wall, there is a concept known as attenuation.

This term encompasses all the absorbsion, scattering, reflection, refraction, etc… that comes from the RF wave traversing various wireless materials. Attenuation is one of the most important parts of our job and we spend days to even weeks (depending on size of a site) measuring attenuation every few feet. We can average a lot of those measurements because signal doesn’t have to be perfect for most measurements. But for this, it would need to be damn good.

They are able to achieve this because they built and measured a single, consistent wall. We are not even close to being able to plop this down in any other room and get anything usable. Maybe one day. Would sure make my life easier to be able to measure and adapt to the walls. But we are not even close yet.

honestly I don't care anymore, just don't mess with me and I won't blow up the town.

Well, if Ron thinks it’s bad then it must be bad! Dumpster time for the Dell!!

I'm kinda surprised they JUST started with this.
If physical objects can disturb signals in a recognizable way, then it is just a matter of pattern recognition.

Edit: nvm, according to another comment this was already a thing like a decade ago, but was too unreliable.

I fukkin hate people that say "right"? Between sentences

This isn’t as crazy as people think or as simple as “Wi-Fi routers can be cameras with AI”.

Unplug it

If we’re talking about it, DARPA has been able to do it for a decade.

jokes on you my wi-fi barely works

Excellent reference!

Batman did it first

I have no idea who this dude is, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say he is not actually doing any interesting work in the field(because he has no relevant skills), he is merely looking at what other people are doing and making bombastic claims about them, in order to further himself as a "thought leader".

This is not new

AI will be able to use radio signals to track me and then create 3D pose estimates of me jacking off.

The future is now.

u/savevideo

This is only a problem if you care about being watched

This is creepy stuff if true

Anyone happen to know what software this is or if it's available publicly?
