How’d they do that? Researchers connect 3D-printed sensors to WiFi without using electronics
A group of researchers at the University of Washington have figured out a way to make 3D-printed objects emit WiFi signals containing status information, all without using electrical power. The technique uses what’s called WiFi backscattering. The method is to make the 3D-printed device amplitude-modulate a WiFi signal coming from a conventional source such as […]
