Could you build this?
No This project implements WiFi sensing via Channel State Information (CSI) on ESP32-S3 microcontrollers paired with computer vision for labeling. It requires specialized knowledge in RF signal processing, low-level firmware programming, and cross-modal ML training.
What it would actually take: The architecture comprises ESP32-S3 firmware capturing raw 802.11 CSI packets via ESP-IDF, streaming them over serial/UDP to a host PC running a computer vision pipeline (e.g., MediaPipe or YOLO) for automated ground truth annotation, and training a neural network (e.g., CNN-LSTM) to classify physical human actions. The hard parts are filtering multipath RF noise, handling ESP32 CSI packet loss and phase calibration, and synchronizing camera timestamps with microsecond RF frames. This requires embedded systems, signal processing, and RF engineering expertise.
