WiSee: Wi-Fi signals enable gesture recognition throughout entire home

Want to control your electronics appliances from any room in your house?


University of Washington computer scientists have developed gesture-recognition technology that works throughout entire room . They have used  Wi-Fi signals  to detect specific movements without needing sensors on the human body or cameras.

Users can control their electronics and household appliances from any room in the home with a simple gesture by using an adapted Wi-Fi router and a few wireless devices in the living room.


Researcher Shyam Gollakota, a UW assistant professor of computer science and engineering said,
This is repurposing wireless signals that already exist in new ways . You can actually use wireless for gesture recognition without needing to deploy more sensors.


They call this technology “WiSee,” is to appear at The 19th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking. The conference will be held in Miami, Florida, September 30-October 4, 2013.
