Could you build this?

No WaveSight is a specialized physical hardware sensor operating across the RF/electromagnetic spectrum with novel physical antenna arrays, beamforming, and signal processing.

What it would actually take: Developing this requires custom RF and millimeter-wave radar hardware design, specialized transceiver silicon, beamforming antenna arrays, and complex inverse scattering / SAR (synthetic aperture radar) algorithms to generate 3D spatial reconstructions through opaque materials. It demands world-class electrical engineering, RF physics, and embedded DSP expertise.
