Who is actually asking for this? It can't be for consumers just wanting to use the internet right? I don't get it.

- zozbot234 5y agoIt's most probably meant for opportunistic sensing in industrial environments, where it might become quite useful. It's not something you're going to use at home.
- trulyme 5y agoHowever, it could be something employers would want to use when you are working remotely. Unfortunately.
- varenc 5y agoI think there’ll be a decent amount of home interest, particularly for home security. Linksys is already doing WiFi sensing as part of their various smart home products: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=317804 https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=317804 The Linksys docs even mention how you may have to tune the sensitivity to filter out motion from your neighbors...
- transpute 5y agoSince this is passive sensing, an attacker outside your home can make use of the WiFi signals emitted from the router inside your home. Or they can broadcast their own signal.

- lifeisstillgood 5y agoThe big one is "heartbeat detection". "Tactical suggests there are 14 heartbeats in the room" "During the interview the candidates heart rate increased during questions on their reasons for leaving the last position" ohhh. There is sooo much here :-)
- bluGill 5y ago> During the interview the candidates heart rate increased during questions on their reasons for leaving the last position That discussion is illegal under current laws. (you cannot use a lie detector in interviews) Well at least in the US, check your local laws.
- bb611 5y agoAuthorities aren't restricted from using a lie detector in the US, just from using the results in court. They're frequently used to pressure suspects in criminal cases during questioning, knowing the results are inadmissable.
- kadoban 5y agoGp seemed to be talking about job interviews. What cops can ask and what a potential employer can ask aren't the same.
