Before It’s News – by Zen Gardner
Meet WiSee, developed at the Universityof Washington. A new technology that works with your home’s wifi to sense where you are and read your hand and body gestures. It needs no infrastructure, wires or cameras. It goes through walls and objects to find you. Using only hand and body movements you can use it to turn appliances and electronics on and off, adjust the temperature, etc. Couple this new technology with current NSA technologies and we have the “perfect storm” of complete surveillance capabilites. You cannot hide from WiSee.
See the demonstration below.
WiSee is a novel interaction interface that leverages ongoing wireless transmissions in the environment (e.g., WiFi) to enable whole-home sensing and recognition of human gestures. Since wireless signals do not require line-of-sight and can traverse through walls, WiSee can enable whole-home gesture recognition using few wireless sources (e.g., a Wi-Fi router and a few mobile devices in the living room).
WiSee is the first wireless system that can identify gestures in line-of-sight, non-line-of-sight, and through-the-wall scenarios. Unlike other gesture recognition systems like Kinect, Leap Motion or MYO, WiSee requires neither an infrastructure of cameras nor user instrumentation of devices. We implement a proof-of-concept prototype of WiSee and evaluate it in both an office environment and a two-bedroom apartment. Our results show that WiSee can identify and classify a set of nine gestures with an average accuracy of 94%.
In the meantime, we will flood you with more radiation from the wireless waves and give you cancer quicker, all so you can enjoy having us know where you are at all times, you stupid little idiot! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU DUMB LITTLE FOOL!!!???
