I would think Ring [1] would be a better fit int he comments since Ring has QT bindings. Ring and Red seem to have the same goal of making GUI programming easy. Personally the syntax of these languages drives my inner Lisp brain a little cr

As a former research librarian I have to say please check why in the world you are going down this path. It is 100% a Wifi device that is sending new packets. There is zero chances that what you are assuming to be true would work. They are

They both must have single side modulation for anything to work. If not than Wifi and FM and AM would never work since everything would confuse the receiver. I thought maybe I am missing something, but I see that the objects are encoded wit

Backscatter is the same technology in both projects. Yes, scientifically they are new packets. See https://youtu.be/4tmatoD0I1o?t=3m48s They could do it with a radio signal of a clean sine wave and through the 3D object the

But it is a new signal originating from the 3D object. They even convert Bluetooth to Wifi signals with this technique. Read about comment of mine for source.
