Emotional manipulation. Using radar to detect emotional states with 70% accuracy for the general public was achieved 2 years ago by the EQ Radio team at MIT.

They did this by detecting breathing & heart rate at a level of accuracy on par with wired sensors.

This tech works through walls for multiple people at a time, whether they're sitting still or moving.

The world is not emotionally responsible enough to protect against this tech.

Pretty sure their heartbeat and breathing detection was for still bodies only.

I sat through one of their presentations. Definitely cool, but I think a bit overhyped.


So we may have some time to prepare ourselves culturally before the tech is production ready.
