RuView
ruvnet/RuView
Turns ordinary WiFi into radar to monitor breathing, movement, and presence without cameras, a privacy-protecting home sensing solution.
π RuView: WiFi DensePose turns commodity WiFi signals into real-time human pose estimation, vital sign monitoring, and presence detection — all without a single pixel of video.
AI Summary
What This Project Does
Simply put, it turns existing home WiFi signals into a "seeing eye." Without installing cameras, it perceives if there are people in the room, what they are doing, and even measures breathing and heart rate via radio wave changes.
What Problems It Solves
Solves the conflict of "wanting to monitor family safety without invading privacy." Traditional solutions require cameras, creating a sense of being watched, and cannot penetrate walls. It replaces cameras to achieve fall detection, sleep monitoring, and intrusion prevention while protecting privacy.
Who It's For
1. Home users concerned about the safety of elderly people living alone or children.
2. People extremely sensitive to privacy who refuse camera installation at home.
3. Geeks and developers who like tinkering with hardware and WiFi principles.
Typical Use Cases
- •Bedroom Sleep Monitoring: Place it by the bed while sleeping to record breathing quality without wearable devices.
- •Living Room Safety Care: Detect if an elderly person falls or if strangers break in.
- •Smart Home Automation: Automatically turn on lights when someone arrives home, turn off when no one is present.
Key Strengths & Highlights
The biggest advantage is completely camera-free, eliminating privacy leakage risks. Secondly, the cost is extremely low, built with ESP32 modules costing tens of dollars. All data is processed locally, not uploaded to the cloud, with fast response times.
Getting Started Requirements
High threshold. Requires purchasing specific ESP32 hardware models (e.g., ESP32-S3) and possessing programming and hardware debugging skills. Currently in Beta phase, may require external devices like Cognitum Seed for best results.
Purpose
Suitable for privacy-preserving vital sign monitoring and home security scenarios. Not suitable for users seeking plug-and-play solutions without hardware debugging experience.
