From the abstract: "This paves the way for low-cost, broadly accessible, and privacy-preserving algorithms for human sensing." How much do we have to wait for

  Cmon, use your imagination, It’s worse than that. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6513191/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6513191/

  Wouldn't gait tracking be the obvious next step?

Summary is good: > Wi-Fi is fucked, everything is broken, Donald J. Trump is president, and the earth is dying. Ok, taking a step back, you might be wondering what you can do to protect yourself. The solution is not without flaws; turn your Wi-Fi off when you aren’t connected to a known network. Doing so will prevent your device from leaking your network names and device fingerprint to the open world. The solution is awkward, easy to forget, and sub-par. But its what we’ve got.

    That's why many vendors randomize MAC addresses, at least where and when possible.

    Wi-Fi Sensing can potentially enable identification of humans carrying _no_ devices.

  I'm not sure "Privacy preserving" is the phrase that springs to mind with this tech.

  You can distinguish people by their gait, so it may be plausible that measurements of gross movements can pick a person out. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3925574/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3925574/
