Human Tracking Using Electric Fields

In this paper we describe a simple, cheap, and unobtrusive demo system that can track multiple persons with low-frequency electric fields. The system's operation is based on measuring the capacitance between multiple floor tiles and a receiving electrode. The presented system is invisible to the user and uses a single-chip solution to measure the capacitances. The system was provided for hands-on evaluation for conference
