3 What happens next?

Once both antennas collect the data about the image, 3D views of the objects are being inserted into the system and the holographic map is created.

According to Holl and Reinhard the more antennas, we use the more likely it is to get a clearer picture.

4 Is it a new concept?

Although using Wi-Fi for this purpose is not an entirely new concept, this is the first time that it is being used for creating larger 3D models of space.

For now, the system is not precise enough to determine all the details of the objects- but it works if you only want to identify shapes within a space.

5 What's the use of this knowledge?

There is no doubt that taking a photograph through walls jeopardizes our privacy, but that is not exactly what the scientists had in mind when conducting the experiment.

It can, after all, be used for good. Rescuing people trapped in the buildings and tracking down materials in factories are just some of the examples of the noble use of this newly acquired knowledge.
