RuView – See through walls with WiFi

Beta Software — Under active development. APIs and firmware may change. Known limitations:

Contributions and bug reports welcome at Issues .

Turn ordinary WiFi into a spatial intelligence / sensing system. Detect people, measure breathing and heart rate, track movement, and monitor rooms — through walls, in the dark, with no cameras or wearables. Just physics.

π RuView is a WiFi sensing platform that turns radio signals into spatial intelligence.

Every WiFi router already fills your space with radio waves. When people move, breathe, or even sit still, they disturb those waves in measurable ways. RuView captures these disturbances using Channel State Information (CSI) from low-cost ESP32 sensors and turns them into actionable data: who's there, what they're doing, and whether they're okay.

Built on RuVector and Cognitum Seed , RuView runs entirely on edge hardware — an ESP32 mesh (as low as $9 per node) paired with a Cognitum Seed for persistent memory, cryptographic attestation, and AI integration. No cloud, no cameras, no internet required.
