Neal Patwari, a University of Utah assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, works with doctoral student Joey Wilson. They have developed a system, using inexpensive radio transceivers like those on the table in front of them, for transmitting radio waves so that police, firefighters or other emergency personnel could "see" people moving behind walls, such as people held hostage or trapped by fire.
