This video is about an augmented reality headset called XAR that gives humans X-ray vision. The system works by sending wireless signals that power up RFID tags in the environment. The tags then respond back with their unique identifier, even when they are inside boxes or behind other objects. XAR creates a virtual 3D map of the environment as the user walks and tracks the headset’s trajectory. It combines this information with RF measurements to estimate the location of the RFID tag in the environment. XAR opportunistically leverages the natural human motion to collect measurements from various locations and narrow in on the position of the requested item. When XAR is confident of the location of the item, it is visualized on the AR glasses as a holographic globe for the user. XAR uses the hand tracking technology of the Hololens and combines the RF measurements with the trajectory of the user’s hands to verify if the correct item is indeed picked up by the user.
This technology has many industrial and retail applications. In warehouses, XAR can boost efficiency by guiding workers in restocking inventory and packing orders and returns. In retail stores, XAR can help store associates to quickly locate items that might be hidden, enabling them to find misplaced items, fulfill customer orders, and restock shelves. In smart manufacturing, XAR can provide guidance to users by visualizing assembly tasks, labeling tools, and locating specific parts to enhance productivity and reduce errors.
Augmented reality with RF perception can change the way we work and interact with our environment, making it an exciting technology with significant benefits for businesses and consumers alike.

Ok at 1:55 when she says signals like Bluetooth and wifi, I’m assuming she’s using that as a common allegory to the tech they actually use, because if you use wifi/ Bluetooth not only would that be horrible for range/vision but usually that means using a wifi/Bluetooth chip like from Broadcom or intel, witch means it HAS to conform (be limited) to the written standards, the chips are designed for wireless communication witch wouldn’t work.
It would be like trying to use a sound card to make an analog video signal to work on a TV, it may be possible, but very hard.
I’m assuming they are using custom silicon or developmental radio chips to produce and interpret radio signals.
My guess would be signals similar to ultrasonic or gigarange (or a mix) to Penetrate, estimate composition, filter noise then the AI takes all that info (witch can gigaBITS) and turn the raw data into human language, like shape, distance, size and compare to the image picked up from the camera.
The biggest problem will be certifying the signal to be safe, and won’t interfere with existing radio bands.
And although I have my doubts, the system will learn, give feedback to itself and combined with software updates, improve over time.
The only other problem I personally see, is this product a solution looking for a problem? Because if we are thinking warehouse/distribution use, there are already well established and efficient systems. Because this would be a VERY expensive toy to use at home just to find a shirt.

Frustrating talk. It completely glossed over the true underlying technology that makes these things possible.

Also, how does the robot know what a “remote control” is? By using a camera and AI image recognition?
