Very cool!

Also this is mindblowing, logging keystrokes from a standard keyboard using wifi.

"we show for the first time that WiFi signals can also be exploited to recognize keystrokes. The intuition is that while typing a certain key, the hands and fingers of a user move in a unique formation and direction and thus generate a unique pattern in the time-series of Channel State Information (CSI) values"

Edit: I wonder as an aside how precisely you could potentially use the accelerometer etc. for dead-reckoning.
