How It Works:

1. Wi-Fi Signal Propagation:

Wi-Fi signals travel through walls and bounce off objects, including people.

When a person moves, they disturb these signals (phase and amplitude changes).

2. Signal Capture:

Wi-Fi routers or custom devices capture Channel State Information (CSI) or Received Signal
Strength Indicator (RSSI) data.

This data reflects how signals change due to the environment.

3. AI and Signal Processing:

Raw CSI/RSSI data is noisy and complex.

AI models, especially deep learning networks like CNNs or RNNs, are trained to recognize patterns
from the signal data that correspond to human movement, posture, or location.

4. 3D Mapping or Detection:

With enough training and multiple routers (to triangulate), AI can detect:

Presence of people

Movement patterns

Even posture or gestures (in research settings)

Tools & Techniques Used:

Deep Learning Libraries: TensorFlow, PyTorch

Hardware: Wi-Fi routers with open firmware (e.g., TP-Link with OpenWRT), software-defined radios (e.g.,
USRP), or Intel 5300 NICs (for CSI).

Projects/Research Examples:

MIT’s RF-Pose: Used AI and Wi-Fi to detect people behind walls.

Wi-Peep & Wi-Vi: Earlier prototypes showing passive or active Wi-Fi sensing.

Caveats:

This tech is experimental. Not plug-and-play.

Ethical/legal concerns: Surveillance through walls without consent is a serious privacy violation in most
jurisdictions.

Technical challenges: Requires calibration, environment control, and lots of data.

If you want, I can walk you through a basic DIY experiment with CSI data from a supported Intel Wi-Fi card
and Python. Would you like that?
