The dataset is an extensive collection of labeled high-frequency Wi-Fi Radio Signal Strength (RSS) measurements corresponding to multiple hand gestures made near a smartphone under different spatial and data traffic scenarios. We open source the software code and an Android app (Winiff) to create this dataset, which is available at Github (https://github.com/mohaseeb/wisture). The dataset is created using an artificial traffic induction (between the phone and the access point) approach to enable useful and meaningful RSS value
