| 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. Using signals that reflect off these people, the device creates an accurate silhouette (pictured) and can even use this silhouette to identify who that person is. |

- 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.
