When you walk into an internet cafe, you don’t have to log in or even pull out your phone for the system to know that you’re there. Our body shape has been tracked, how we walk has been analysed, and our identity has been determined with near-perfect accuracy. That’s is what wireless can do in 2025. Researchers at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have revealed their findings, saying Wi-Fi networks can be used to identify people in real-time without any device on them; no smartphone, smartwatch, just your body subtly interrupting radio signals. At the heart of this breakthrough is beam-forming feedback information, a technical term for how Wi-Fi routers and devices tune signals for optimal performance. By monitoring this data, silhouettes, postures, even body movement provide signatures via radio waves.
