Cutting edge technology now gives Superman some competition. Scientists at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have developed a device that uses WiFi signals to effectively see through walls and other obstacles, with the ability to identify which persons are standing behind it.
This new technology coined RF Capture, is enhanced version of previous methods of capturing movements across a house – technology used by mothers to see their baby’s breathing and firefighters to determine if there are survivors in a burning building.
MIT RF Capture with WiFi Device with silhouette
How does RF Capture work?
RF-Capture works by transmitting wireless signals that, upon hitting a person standing behind a wall, are reflected off various body parts and then back to the device for analysis to piece together the whole image of people.
The video below shows how researchers captured consecutive time snapshots, before constructing the human silhouette.
Researchers, as us at UAT, are excited about the future applications that this kind of wireless technology could provide.
It’s incredible to think that lives could be saved with this sort of technology. Consider “an in-home device that can call 911 if it is capable of detecting that a family member has fallen unconscious” in a fire.
RF Capture could also have applications in motion capture, allowing filmmakers to dispense with those silly sensor-covered suits currently in use by performers for doing special effects sequences.

jQuery and HTML5 are taking over the web.
The combination of both make it so easy to create dynamic websites that look like the heavier Flash websites of the past.
Base Creative UK has set up a website with a great tutorial on how to create a jQuery website in less than a day.
Using the jQuery Javascript Library, jQuery UI Widgets, and some jQuery syntax, you can create a nice looking website that can be built upon. Check out the tutorial on the jQuery Site In A Day website.
Sci-fi authors Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross have co-written Rapture of the Nerds, a novel about a post-Singularity world populated by posthumans toward the end of the 21st century.
Both authors are well known for their tales of a human future in the grip of transformative, often disruptive, technologies, so if you’d like to see where two of this part of the century’s most imaginative authors think our technologies may take us, check out this novel.
Doctorow is author of Gamer and Little Brother, while Stross is author of Accelerando and Singularity Sky. “Jury Service,” an excerpt from the novel is available from publisher Tor.
Google has announced their search results algorithm this week will start taking into consideration copyright renewal notices. According to Amit Singhal, Google’s SVP of Engineering, “Sites with high numbers of removal notices may appear lower in our results.” That means Google is once again cracking down on duplicate content across the web.
Google has been processing 4.3 million URLs in the last 30 days which have been submitted as having copyright infringement. Singhal says they “We will now be using this data as a signal in our search rankings.”
Of course, Google cannot decide whether or not a webpage copyright has been infringed upon. They are simply relying on copyright removal notices they have received from rights owners.
ADVICE: If you have been using any copyrighted material and don’t want to see your page rank drop, you should consider removing that content and using only original material in the future. If you feel your site has been penalized, Google says they will continue to provide “counter notice” tools to ask for reconsideration.
