A Presentation On: Wi-Vi Technology

The document presents information on Wi-Vi technology, which uses wireless signals to detect and track humans behind walls. It operates using a MIMO device with two transmitters and one receiver to transmit signals that reflect off walls and humans. Key features include eliminating interference to detect minute human movements, identifying number and locations of multiple humans, and potential applications in security, emergency response, and gesture recognition through walls. The technology provides a low-cost, low-power solution compared to prior antenna arrays, but has limitations in resolution and range.

INTRODUCTION
Wi-Vi stands for wireless vision.

 Wi-Vi is used to detect the humans behind the wall.

 Wi-Vi is a three antenna MIMO device with two


transmitters and one receiver.Signals transmitted are
similar but inverse of 1st antenna.
 it also employs directional antennas to focus energy
towards the wall or room of interest.

 Earlier operation to detect humans behind wall used


antenna array and UWB frequencies made them bulky.
KEY IDEA

WI-VI
DEVICE

Figure1 :Key idea for working of WI-VI

The key idea behind this technology is the


reflection of the signals which is similar to that
of RADAR and SONAR imaging. 4
WHAT CAN WI-VI DO?
 detect number of moving humans in a closed room.
 Determine relative locations of moving humans.
 Enable communication through wall without carrying a
wireless device.
 Identify simple gestures from behind a wall.
WIRELESS VISION

 Captures moving objects behind wall


 Makes use of WI-FI signals and hardware
 Uses WI-FI signals ISM bands at 2.4Ghz but limits
to 20 MHz
 After traversing the wall twice the signal power is
reduced by 3-5 orders of their magnitude
The reflections from the wall is much more stronger
than that of humans this reflection overwhelm the
signals reflected from the human and prevents it from
registering minute variations called as FLASH

ELIMINATING THE FLASH EFFECT

There are three steps involved


 Initial nulling
 Power boosting
 Iterative nulling
These combined process is known as MIMO
nulling

 Merits
 High efficiency.
 Low power, low cost and low bandwidth.
 It overcomes the need for UWB by using MIMO
nulling to remove the flash effect.
 No connectors.
 Ease of installation.

 Demits
 Low resolution.
 Short range of communication.
16
CONCLUSION
 Could prove to be very powerful and effective device for
defence purposes.

 Possibly the next generation RADAR.

 Further improvement will allow WI-VI to become more


expressive hence hoping new directions of virtual reality.
