This is a VERY controlled environment - and they used 20 passes of each person walking with direct knowledge of each person to train for identity. They did no tests with multiple people walking at the same time, or with any other external moving distortion effects (doors opening, etc) .

Yes but this is just the start and its already good enough for an ICE car to park outside your house and check if you're home and what room you're in.

Task Group bf is expected to develop an amendment that defines modifications to the IEEE 802.11 medium access control layer (MAC) and to the Directional Multi Gigabit (DMG) and enhanced DMG (EDMG) PHYs to enhance Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) sensing (SENS) operation in license-exempt frequency bands between 1 GHz and 7.125 GHz and above 45 GHz.

- Stations to inform other stations of their WLAN sensing capabilities
- Request and setup transmissions that enable WLAN sensing measurements to be performed
- Exchange of WLAN sensing feedback and information

#154At university over a decade ago, we were looking at using Bluetooth/WiFi signals to create live room maps for military applications.
Since then, the tech has only got better.

Yes, but things could be refined. With more resources and research thrown at it, it could become more versatile, that's why the title of the post says "could". And chances are, there are private and government entities already doing this. Research like this has been coming out for at least a decade now. Even Xfinity has motion detection in homes using this technique now: https://www.xfinity.com/hub/smart-home/wifi-mo…
