MIT scientists create X-ray vision using Wi-Fi

2013-10-07 79 Dailymotion

Researchers at MIT have come up with a Wi-Fi based technology to help track the movement of individuals, even when the pass behind a wall. <br />The technology, christened Wi-Vi, uses a low-power Wi-fi signal and its reflections to track movement.<br /><br />The secret behind Wi-Vi is that it uses two transmitters and a single receiver. The second transmitter's signal is the inverse of the first. Any identical reflections, such as those from static objects, therefore cancel each other out leaving only moving signals.<br />The signals can show when a subject in another room is moving away from and towards the receiver.<br /><br />Wi-Vi's inventors believe the technology could one day be used for a range of applications including search and rescue operations in disaster areas and by police to identify the number of suspects and their locations in a building before a raid.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
