    Abstract: This document describes techniques for fine-motion virtual-reality or augmented-reality control using radar. These techniques enable small motions and displacements to be tracked, even in the millimeter or sub-millimeter scale, for user control actions even when those actions are small, fast, or obscured due to darkness or varying light. Further, these techniques enable fine resolution and real-time control, unlike conventional RF-tracking or optical-tracking techniques.

    Abstract: Various embodiments dynamically learn user-customizable input gestures. A user can transition a radar-based gesture detection system into a gesture-learning mode. In turn, the radar-based gesture detection system emits a radar field configured to detect a gesture new to the radar-based gesture detection system. The radar-based gesture detection system receives incoming radio frequency (RF) signals generated by the outgoing RF signal reflecting off the gesture, and analyzes the incoming RF signals to learn one or more identifying characteristics about the gesture. Upon learning the identifying characteristics, the radar-based gesture detection system reconfigures a corresponding input identification system to detect the gesture when the one or more identifying characteristics are next identified, and transitions out of the gesture-learning mode.

    Abstract: This document describes apparatuses and techniques for radar-based contextual sensing. In some aspects, a radar sensor of a device is activated to obtain radar data for a space of interest. Three-dimensional (3D) radar features are extracted from the radar data and positional data is received from sensors. Based on the positional data, spatial relation of the 3D radar features is determined to generate a set of 3D landmarks for the space. This set of 3D landmarks is then compared with known 3D context models to identify a 3D context model that matches the 3D landmarks. Based on a matching 3D context model, a context for the space is retrieved and used to configure contextual settings of the device. By so doing, contextual settings of the device be dynamically configured to address changes in context or for different device environments.

    Abstract: This document describes techniques using, and devices embodying, radar gesture sensing using existing data protocols. These techniques and devices enable transmitting data according to an existing data protocol, modulating the data on a radar field to transmit to another device, and sensing user gestures by analyzing reflections of portions of transmitted data by the transmitting or receiving device. Techniques are also described to filter received signals based on addressing information in the transmitted data to limit gesture recognition at a receiving device to transmitting devices known to the receiver.
