Wi-Fi sensing is becoming a powerful technology, capable of detecting movement and gestures without cameras, raising significant questions about online privacy. This video explores the evolution of wifi sensing and its implications for surveillance, including its use in home security and how it could shape future technology. We also discuss the broader cyber security landscape as these capabilities become more advanced, making even a simple motion sensor a potential privacy concern.

My Life sounds a lot like your life
at some point it will be common to build in a tinfoil liner on all floors, walls, doors, and ceilings. windows would have a transparent aluminium coating.
would all that be enough? unlikely. but it would cause those trying to spy a bit of grief.
Most new robo vacuums use LIDAR. The WiFi connection allows the robot to communicate with the app. They are two different things. LIDAR prevents it from running over the dog. The WiFi allows it to take a picture of the dog in the way and sends it to your phone.
Is FreeRepublic a subset of “Bathrooms”?
You forgot Free Republic!
“tinfoil liner”
I use cellphone Wi-Fi to access FR.
I can put the cellphone in a steel Farberware pot with the lid on and still access FR.
Putting the pot and phone in my refrigerator will block access to FR.
Does that block access to all other sites?
Carnegie Mellon University researchers engineered a WiFi router to work with DensePose to detect humans and their movement behind a wall.
This see-through tech relies on three WiFi transmitters and receivers to map the phase and amplitude of the antennas. Doing so allows it to identify a reflected signal’s distance and direction. That data is then fed into the team’s AI system, which reconstructs a human’s pose and movement in a radar-like image. That capability worked effortlessly even if a wall was present between the subjects and routers.
“Does that block access to all other sites?”
The test is not a function of the website.
It was a combined test of both the cellphone’s cellphone tower and Wi-Fi access abilities.
I was thinking of putting my cellphone in a homemade foil pouch and wanted to know if such a pouch would work. It would not.
