Could you build this?
No Extracting Channel State Information (CSI) from Wi-Fi chipsets for presence detection requires low-level firmware hacking, driver modification, and complex RF signal processing.
What it would actually take: Building this requires custom Linux Wi-Fi drivers or patched firmware (such as Nexmon or ESP32 CSI toolkits) to extract raw subcarrier phase and amplitude data from the 802.11 physical layer. The data pipeline must apply signal processing techniques (Butterworth filtering, Fresnel zone modeling, PCA) and machine learning classifiers to isolate human Doppler shifts from multipath noise. This requires specialized RF engineering, embedded systems development, and digital signal processing knowledge.
