[EDIT] I stand corrected, [2] is unrelated. My bad! Here's some good sources as alternative.

"MIT turns Wi-Fi Into Indoor GPS New tech from CSAIL lab lets one Wi-Fi device locate another to within centimeters" [3]

"RF-Capture: Capturing the Human Figure Through a Wall

It can know who the person behind a wall is. It can trace a person's handwriting in air from behind a wall. It can determine how a person behind a wall is moving." [4]

They also contain further resources.

[2] is a thermal camera with WiFi connectivity, it's completely unrelated.
Thank you for the correction, I updated the post with new information whilst keeping the discussion intact w/your post.
