(Telecompaper) A team of researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) created a new wireless technology called RF Capture that detects wireless reflections off the human body to see the silhouette of humans standing behind walls, according to MIT News. To be presented in a paper accepted to the Siggraph Asia conference taking place in November, the technology can be used by firefighters to check if there are survivors inside a burning building or by mothers who want to monitor their baby's breathing, for instance. It can also be used in smarthomes and for virtual reality applications and Hollywood productions.
