Wi-Fi in 2025: It could be watching your every move The IEEE is working on a standard that could enable Wi-Fi to track you through walls, right down to what you’re typing on the keyboard. Credit: Dreamstime I consider myself a techno-optimist. Technology has improved life for humanity in countless ways, like the wheel, the printing press, selfie sticks these marvels have enriched us all. So too has Wi-Fi. If not for Wi-Fi, no one could idly stream YouTube videos on company laptops through rogue hotspots at a busy-but-socially-distanced coffee shop when we’re supposed to be doing our jobs. Which is to say none of us could fully leverage the remote network-connectivity tools that allow enterprise employees to be productive any time and from anywhere. ....
Wireless sensing Francesco Restuccia, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northeastern University who researches embedded systems, wireless networks and artificial intelligence, writes in a recent research paper that as Wi-Fi becomes more ubiquitous, we’ll see “groundbreaking wireless sensing applications such as human presence detection, activity recognition, and object tracking, just to name a few.” Think of it as Wi-Fi developing another sense, the ability to “continuously ‘map’ the surrounding environment using Wi-Fi signals as sounding waveforms,” as Restuccia explains. That’s a pretty heady power for technology that was conceived as a digital conduit for radio signals. (Hell, they were transmitting radio waves back in the 1890s, when robber barons and Lycos ruled the world.) ....
Hex Home Wins Red Dot Award for Innovative Design Award Showcases System as the Next Generation of Home Security News provided by Share this article Share this article GREENBELT, Md., April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Hex Home™, the world s first Wi-Fi Sensing home security system, has received a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021 with the international jury awarding the one-of-a-kind home security system for its outstanding and innovative design. Powered by revolutionary ambient sensing and AI technology, Hex Home provides significantly greater accuracy and wider coverage than traditional security systems. A standout amongst more than 18,000 entries, Hex Home is a DIY, waved-based home security system that requires only two sleek, modern devices a Hex Command (surface-sitting pod) and at least one Hex Sense (wall plug-in) to monitor a user s home using Wi-Fi waves. By monitoring how Wi-Fi waves bounce, break and bend around people, Hex is able to calculate ....
