This is just a blog post, and thus a regular submission and explicitly off-topic for Show HN. Everyone clicking on this will be disappointed, as demonstrated by the comments so far. There isn’t even a video for us to see the effect.
I understand that this was meant to be a retelling of how the build process went and what happened afterwards, but it seems quite light on the actual results? I would have liked to see a video demonstrating how well it lets the user see through walls!
"We didn’t qualify for the standard prizes — perhaps spending only 30 seconds on our presentation and lacking a live-demo setup had killed our chances."
That's the result of the competition, but what I want is a demonstration of the actual project: in an uncongested area, take a video of someone walking behind a wall and demonstrate that you can still locate them.

That’s the first line of the Show HN rules.

Such a great project!! I suppose it is not getting many comments because it is such a niche concept.
I think the HN algo rewards posts with a high points to comments ratio anyway which is a good thing in this case.
There's no proof that it actually works.
I didn't comment or read it yesterday because it sounds click baity.
Now I read it and find it weird. The core detail how 2 small noisy wifi chips would achieve a 90% detection rate is completely unexplained.
The amount of data they get is minimal too, sounds more like voodoo than real
It would get more comments if there was a video or screenshot or literally anything that shows the output of their project…
This post is very light on actual demonstation of results.
cool shit
