WiFi and AI Team Up To See Through Walls

I've been covering this story using one technology or another since 2009 (see See Through Walls With Wireless Networks).

But it never fails to fascinate.

Interested in seeing through walls? Take a look at four different technologies - Prism 200, LEXID handheld, LifeReader and the DARPA Radar Scope.

Science fiction fans have enjoyed various versions of this technology for many years. Consider the Subphoton Search Ray from The Shining One (1937), the Probability Time Wave Tube from Elimination (1936) and the X-Beam Projector from Diamond Planetoid (1937).
