I smell scam, for the following reason:
1. this is NOT a product is an Indiegogo fund raising:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/worlds-first-portable-mos...
the product estimated shipment should be * october 2025*
2. In the Indiegogo page, they assert it will use a Lidar ( laser based) and not a mm radar ( based on radio signals );
3. Can a Lidar track something big as a mosquito ? apparently NO:

the small Lidar for commercial use like the Sony AS-DT1 , advertised like the "World’s Smallest and Lightest Precision LiDAR Sensor" available today hare a resolution of * ±5 centimeters* that is good for an Xenomorph but not for a mosquito and, anyway , for Xenomorph there are better options :-) , see : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS2PtmM9mwU
4. The video of the company on youtube seems just another computer graphic gimmick to sell vaporware, IMHO. There is a prototype someone can independently test ?
They write "Relying on the advancement of lidar detection technology, this sci-fi and magical product will soon truly become a reality", I have to say no, not for now.
Please tell me if I'm wrong.
