 HISTORY 1
 WIVI was invented at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory.
 DINA KATABI, a professor at MIT’s Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science, and her graduate student
FADEL ADIB invented this Technology.
 INTRODUCTION
•Use WIFI Signals in ISM
band.
Wireless Device.
•Typically WIFI Hardware.

 What can WIVI Do?
● Detect the number of Humans in a Closed room.
● Determine the relative locations of Moving Humans.
● Identify simple gestures from behind a wall.
● Enable communication through a wall, without carrying a
Wireless device.

5
 Why use WIFI Signals?
 WIFI signals can easily penetrate through Walls.
 WIVI relies on a simple hardware of 2.5GHz WIFI
radios.
 Small enough to be portably used.
 Integrated in Hand-held devices.
 Low-power WIFI signals are used.

6
 WIVI CONSTRUCTION
● WIVI like any other system essentially consists of a
transmitter and a receiver.
● Two transmitting antennas.
Moving Objects
● Single receiver.

 BASIC PRINCIPLE
 WIVI is based on the principle of RADAR and SONAR imaging
which works on Doppler’s effect.
 RADAR is an Object detection system which uses waves to
determine the range, altitude, direction or speed of objects.
 Depends on its own transmitting signal.

All reflections from Static objects are cancelled out, and the only
thing registered by the device is moving Human.

 GESTURE ENCODING

Gestures as detected by WIVI Gestures as Angles

 RESOLUTION
 WIVI delivers more basic perspective on moving Objects.
 Relatively resolution is low compared to a Traditional Camera.
 In WIVI, simple gestures are also traceable.

16
 ADVANTAGES

● WIVI is relatively a low-power, low-cost, low-bandwidth and

low-size.
● WIVI requires same bandwidth & operates in the same range as
WIFI.
● It allows us to detect Objects in the dark or in the smoke.
● Accurate detection and good accuracy.

17
 LIMITATIONS
● We cannot detect the humans if the concrete walls are thicker
than 8mts.
● Display has very low resolution.
● To achieve a narrow beam, the human needs to move by about
50cms.

 APPLICATIONS
Law Enforcement Emergency

Personal Security Smart Sensing

19
 FUTURE SCOPE
 WIVI could be built into a Smart Phone or a special handheld device.
 Can be used in search-and-rescue missions and Law enforcements.
 Evolution of seeing human beings with denser building material with
longer range.

20
 CONCLUSION

 WIVI, a smart handheld device which gives an insight vision through

Walls.
 Could prove to be very powerful and effective device for Defence
purpose.
 Possibly the next Gen RADAR.
