If someone walks passed your computer and casts a shadow upon it, will you lose the signal? It sounds like it. Either way, this is pretty remarkable stuff. I kept wondering, "is this real?"

Is it?

Yeah, I agree. Why don't we use signals that can pass through human skin such as gamma rays?

The light could reflect off multiple objects if the "main connection" is broken. However, you bring up a good point in the sense that you would have to have it installed in every room of your home.

It's real, read about working prototypes at least a year ago, it's not just in China.
