Physics scrutiny of WiFi-band maritime sensing scenarios. Steel skin depth is 3.25 um at 2.4 GHz, making bulkheads utterly opaque. Saltwater attenuation is 853 dB/m. The 'through-bulkhead WiFi radar' framing common in conservation/maritime is wrong; the actual feasible category is 'through-seam' sensing exploiting slot diffraction through gaskets, hatch seals, and vent grilles. Composite link budget for 7 maritime scenarios (ESP32-S3 121 dB budget, 10 dB SNR margin): FEASIBLE: - Man-overboard surface @ 200 m: +25 dB - Cabin door, 2 mm seam: +31 dB - Cabin door, 5 mm seam: +39 dB - Container, 30 mm vent slot: +45 dB IMPOSSIBLE: - Closed 10 mm steel door: -938 dB - Submarine pressure hull: -929 dB - Head 30 cm underwater: -231 dB Five feasible verticals catalogued: man-overboard surface, through-seam crew vitals, container tamper detection, hatch-seal predictive maintenance, engine-room thermal anomaly via condensation. Composes with prior threads: - R6 Fresnel envelope + slot diffraction = narrower composite envelope - R10 link-budget primitives reused unmodified for air-side maritime - R7 multi-link consistency essential against superstructure jammers - R14 privacy framework transfers directly to crew-cabin monitoring Honest scope: best-case ignores vessel vibration (5-30 Hz, in-band with R10 gait frequencies), engine ignition noise, salt-spray, steel-surface multipath. Maritime gait-classification is harder than land. The romantic 'through-hull radar' is now explicitly debunked. The actual product roadmap is gasket-leakage sensing, surface detection, and predictive-maintenance audits. Coordination: ticks/tick-10.md, no PROGRESS.md edit. |

Examples
Real-time sensing applications built on the RuView platform.
Unified Dashboard (start here)
pip install pyserial numpy
python examples/ruview_live.py --csi COM7 --mmwave COM4
The live dashboard auto-detects available sensors and displays fused vitals, environment data, and events in real-time. Works with any combination of sensors.
Individual Examples
| Example | Sensors | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| ruview_live.py | CSI + mmWave + Light | Unified dashboard: HR, BR, BP, stress, presence, light, RSSI |
| Medical: Blood Pressure | mmWave | Contactless BP estimation from HRV |
| Medical: Vitals Suite | mmWave | 10-in-1: HR, BR, BP, HRV, sleep stages, apnea, cough, snoring, activity, meditation |
| Sleep: Apnea Screener | mmWave | Detects breathing cessation events, computes AHI |
| Stress: HRV Monitor | mmWave | Real-time stress level from heart rate variability |
| Environment: Room Monitor | CSI + mmWave | Occupancy, light, RF fingerprint, activity events |
Hardware
| Port | Device | Cost | What It Provides |
|---|---|---|---|
| COM7 | ESP32-S3 (WiFi CSI) | ~$9 | Presence, motion, breathing, heart rate (through walls) |
| COM4 | ESP32-C6 + Seeed MR60BHA2 | ~$15 | Precise HR/BR, presence, distance, ambient light |
Either sensor works alone. Both together enable fusion (mmWave 80% + CSI 20%).
