Researchers Build a Low-Power Radar on a CMOS ChIp (electronicsweekly.com) 17
“The radar enables such devices to sense their surroundings, which will shape the way in which we control and use these devices. For instance, a phone with integrated radar on your bedside table can monitor sleep quality by contactless tracking of breathing rate and heart rate variability. The radar is as well suited for classification of other physical activities, which will open a new range of smart applications in the context of personalized health, baby monitoring, sports, elderly care, patient monitoring, nurse efficiency or worker safety.”
“Our prototype shows that radar technology is becoming ready for the next big step: the use in battery-powered devices. Now, we are looking for companies that want to exploit these ideas to enter the market by realizing new radar solutions”, says Kathleen Philips, Director IoT at imec.
“It is thought to be useful for detecting finger and hand motion, heartbeat and a person’s speed and position…” writes Joe2020, “but I’m sure Slashdot readers can think of a variety of other uses for it.”

Those RFs will give me move COVID than 5G!
Probably 50% more.
Oh shit, just what I always wanted… MORE TRACKING DEVICES!!
This one should be able to let the state know whom you’re having sex with and preferences, many of your health problems, and how often you take a shit. Isn’t it great?
For the lolz I’d like to see how they try to use what time I shit against me. I’m supposed to believe the governor is sitting there reading reports of what time people shit? Obviously not, so who cares what’s in some database? Assuming it’s even going to be in some database.
“At work, you go to the bathroom six times a day to relieve yourself, and two times to jack off”

That’s a relief; I’m in a clear then!
So you think you have better luck trying to ban these than maybe not buying them or putting anyone trying to illegally track fools into jail?
Sounds good for baby monitoring, IF the range is enough for detecting heart beat.
Three most important things for baby monitoring and preventing SIDS: Temperature, Breathing, Heart Rate.

I think you got those in reverse order of importance there. If the body has gone cold, it’s too late.

- Will it let me see under people’s clothes? Back of the comic book “x-ray” glasses are finally real!
X-Ray and RADAR aren’t the same thing.
I would explain it to you but I would have to Move.

The early usage of new technology is frequently porn. Therefore, I predict the success of this radar technology will come after a pornographic application of it.
You can see them coming.
