This could be a boon for thieves, allowing them to scan for empty houses at night, so they know which ones can be more safely targeted.
It can also serve as a replacement for IR sensors in homes and keep thieves at bay
From the abstract: "This paves the way for low-cost, broadly accessible, and privacy-preserving algorithms for human sensing." How much do we have to wait for the follow up paper: "Human identification through wifi signals" and then the patent for "Wifi as an identity tracking source for advertisement in public spaces" Technology advances make me sad those days...

Absolutely incredible, the applications of machine learning never cease to amaze me. Will be an absolute boon for VR.
Ehhh... The latency would need to get lower than camera based systems but it might be useful to some degree.

Sign me up for the security system. This seems like a total game changer if it's possible to do real human detection and tracking in a secure location.
2012, https://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-07/seeing-thr... > The U.K. Ministry of Defence has funded a study to determine whether it could be used to scan buildings during urban warfare. With improvements, Woodbridge says, the device could become sensitive enough to pick up on subtle motions the ribcage makes during breathing, which would allow the radar to detect people who are standing or sitting still.

I have a weirder utility for it: occupancy sensing in rooms. If it can detect breathing of humans reliably, then it solves a huge problem in having home automation with automatic lighting - particularly in bathrooms. I've never had a decent bathroom occupancy sensor (they all end up wanting to detect fairly large motions) - the obvious solution is AI with a camera but for obvious reasons no, but if a couple of base s…

The Aqara FP2 should be out in Q2 with Matter support and be a nice upgrade. It can segment a room into multiple spaces and detect 5 people.
