For a long time, x-ray vision has been an implausible discovery only depicted in sci-fi films. But a groundbreaking discovery has been made at MIT. A software that allow machines to see people through walls not just as dots moving, but in humanlike, stick form.


The RF-Pose is an Artificial Intelligence software that sees people through walls a progress made in MIT’S Computer Science and Advance Intelligence Laboratory [CSAIL] using neural signals from the body transmitted through a radio.

In addition, this system protects the privacy of individuals, someone cannot be monitored against their will. This system has potential to help people with a degenerative disease and help aging people live independently.
The research has gone on for more than a decade and the team is currently working with doctors to explore several uses in healthcare.

Other possible uses are for search and rescue missions and new class of video games.
