- The RF Capture device was developed by researchers at MIT
- Wireless signals travel through the wall and reflect off the body behind it
-This creates a silhouette from which body parts can be identified
- Silhouettes can then be compared to a database of bodies to identify who they belong to - and it can even identify which hand their moving
X-ray vision is a staple of sci-fi films and comic books and now researchers have turned this concept into a reality.
Using a wireless transmitter fitted behind a wall, computer scientists have developed a device that can map a nearby room in 3D while scanning for human bodies.
