Who is actually asking for this? It can't be for consumers just wanting to use the internet right? I don't get it.

    The big one is "heartbeat detection".

    "Tactical suggests there are 14 heartbeats in the room"

    "During the interview the candidates heart rate increased during questions on their reasons for leaving the last position"

    ohhh. There is sooo much here :-)

      That discussion is illegal under current laws. (you cannot use a lie detector in interviews) Well at least in the US, check your local laws.

It's most probably meant for opportunistic sensing in industrial environments, where it might become quite useful. It's not something you're going to use at home.

    Since this is passive sensing, an attacker outside your home can make use of the WiFi signals emitted from the router inside your home. Or they can broadcast their own signal.

    However, it could be something employers would want to use when you are working remotely. Unfortunately.
