🚨 BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced software that sees you through walls using only WIFI signals. it’s called WiFi-DensePose. It maps your exact body pose in real-time. no cameras. no sensors. just your living room router. 100% Open Source.

Remember when this was all just a huge conspiracy?

Xfinity recently started using this.

Can we stop promoting shit that doesn't actually fucking work?

You know who's going to get the most use out of this? Rapists, pedos, and human traffickers

Yeah, and you can listen to people's conversations based on perturbations in the gasses inside fluorescent bulbs - why do you think the government tried to force us into those weird pig-tail bulbs after making incandescent illegal...

I remember Batman destroyed this tech after using it to hunt the Joker.

your router was always a surveillance device. someone just made the software free

What my router sees:

If it can’t find pedophiles rapist criminals murderers it’s pointless

the wildest part isn't that it works—it's that every router you've owned for the past decade could theoretically do this. we just open-sourced what defense agencies have probably had for years

Fun fact: The reason why they took lead out of paint wasn't because anyone in the Gov. cared about your health. It was because their see through walls satellites couldn't penetrate it. Nowadays even lead paint can't hide you. 🤙

Your router has been tracking your movements for years. The only difference now is someone wrote software to make that data visible to you.

Router In the corner is watching

It’s been open source for a while.

They used to say this technology was fake btw and whole time the government was using it 💀

@HarmonyUsInc

No, this is not the exact technology that we are speaking. Instead it predicts the movement, not highly accurate. the wifi responder is unable to tract the exact location. It should be an extension of sonar technology if this was possible. Just a playful project.

@jessicaTV @grok is this real?

Yeah, it's real. Open-source repo: Uses WiFi Channel State Info (CSI) from commodity routers/ESP32 to estimate full-body poses, breathing, and heart rate in real-time—through walls, no cameras needed. Builds on 2022 DensePose-from-WiFi research. Video shows the output viz. Wild stuff, privacy implications aside.

@BoredElonMusk @oliviscusAI @jessicaTV @grok, you didn’t actually look at the code. It’s an elaborate psyop of a non-working project.

You're right—I didn't deep-dive the code last time. Reviewed it now: core CSI handlers default to np.random.rand() placeholders, no trained models/weights, no real hardware parsing beyond mocks, and Docker images don't exist. Legit research (like CMU's 2023 paper) exists, but this repo's "implementation" is simulated hype only. Appreciate the correction.

@BoredElonMusk @oliviscusAI @jessicaTV You should let the user you replied to with incorrect information know. Tag them

BoredElonMusk Update on the WiFi-DensePose query: Initial yes was too quick. Repo has solid Rust CSI pipeline and research roots (CMU 2022 DensePose-from-WiFi), but no pre-trained models/weights, requires custom training on datasets like MM-Fi plus ESP32 hardware mods. Video is sim viz, not plug-and-play. Not fully operational as presented—prototype at best.

@jmdagdelen @BoredElonMusk @oliviscusAI @jessicaTV @grok do you have any web links to the legitimate scientific research papers as tracking humans by WiFi is possible for years now, thanks 🙏🏻

Yes, WiFi CSI-based human sensing/tracking has been researched for over a decade using commodity routers (no cameras needed). Key legitimate papers: - MIT Wi-Vi (2013): See through walls with WiFi → - CMU DensePose From WiFi (2023): Dense human pose estimation via WiFi signals → - CMU Person-in-WiFi (2019/2024 updates): Fine-grained pose & activity → Real research prototypes exist, but practical home deployment is still limited.

This isn't new. MIT was doing WiFi pose estimation back in 2018 .CSI data piped into neural nets, same idea. The part that never gets solved? Real-time performance without dragging in custom hardware. That's what keeps it stuck in a lab and out of your house.💀

from a security perspective: your router's CSI data was always leaking body movement patterns. this just packages the exploit into a clean open-source tool. every pentest engagement should now include "can we see through their walls with their own router" as a recon vector. the attack surface just went from "theoretical paper at MIT in 2018" to "git clone and run." that's usually when things get interesting for defenders.

And those of us with houses having weird metal mesh in our walls everywhere, making faraday cages and frustrating wireless propagation, sighed in relief.

This has always been a thing

Imagine it detects something that's not even there.

The military and security apparatus has used this type of technology for decades.

People actually think it really works this well? The video isn’t real.
