Abstract: Techniques are described herein that enable advanced gaming and virtual reality control using radar. These techniques enable small motions and displacements to be tracked, even in the millimeter or submillimeter scale, for user control actions even when those actions are optically occluded or obscured.

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: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart-device-based radar system capable of performing angular estimation using machine learning. In particular, a radar system 102 includes an angle-estimation module 504 that employs machine learning to estimate an angular position of one or more objects (e.g., users). By analyzing an irregular shape of the radar system 102's spatial response across a wide field of view, the angle-estimation module 504 can resolve angular ambiguities that may be present based on the angle to the object or based on a design of the radar system 102 to correctly identify the angular position of the object. Using machine-learning techniques, the radar system 102 can achieve a high probability of detection and a low false-alarm rate for a variety of different antenna element spacings and frequencies.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a mobile device-based radar system (104) for providing a multi-mode interface (114). A radar field (110) is used to enable a user device (102, 702) to accurately determine a presence or threshold movement of a user near the user device. The user device provides a multi-mode interface having at least first and second modes and providing a black display or a low-luminosity display in the first mode. The user device detects, based on radar data and during the first mode, a presence or threshold movement by the user relative to the user device and responsively changes the multi-mode interface from the first mode to the second mode. Responsive to the change to the second mode, the user device provides visual feedback corresponding to the implicit interaction by adjusting one or more display parameters of the black display or the low-luminosity display.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition with context-sensitive gating and other context-sensitive controls. Sensor data from a proximity sensor (108) and/or a movement sensor (108) produces a context of a user equipment (102). The techniques and systems enable the user equipment (102) to recognize contexts when a radar system (104) can be unreliable and should not be used for gesture-recognition, enabling the user equipment (102) to automatically disable or “gate” the output from the radar system (104) according to context. The user equipment (102) prevents the radar system (104) from transitioning to a high-power state (1910) to perform gesture-recognition in contexts where radar data detected by the radar system (104) is likely due to unintentional input. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition.

Abstract: Techniques of identifying gestures include detecting and classifying inner-wrist muscle motions at a user's wrist using micron-resolution radar sensors. For example, a user of an AR system may wear a band around their wrist. When the user makes a gesture to manipulate a virtual object in the AR system as seen in a head-mounted display (HMD), muscles and ligaments in the user's wrist make small movements on the order of 1-3 mm. The band contains a small radar device that has a transmitter and a number of receivers (e.g., three) of electromagnetic (EM) radiation on a chip (e.g., a Soli chip. This radiation reflects off the wrist muscles and ligaments and is received by the receivers on the chip in the band. The received reflected signal, or signal samples, are then sent to processing circuitry for classification to identify the wrist movement as a gesture.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable radar-based gesture enhancement for voice interfaces. The techniques and systems use a radar field to accurately determine three-dimensional (3D) gestures that can be used instead of, or in combination with, a voice interface to enhance interactions with voice-controllable electronic devices. These techniques allow the user to make 3D gestures from a distance to provide a voice input trigger (e.g., a “listen” gesture), interrupt and correct inaccurate actions by the voice interface, and make natural and precise adjustments to functions controlled by voice commands.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for robust radar-based gesture-recognition. A radar system detects radar-based gestures on behalf of application subscribers. A state machine transitions between multiple states based on inertial sensor data. A no-gating state enables the radar system to output radar-based gestures to application subscribers. The state machine also includes a soft-gating state that prevents the radar system from outputting the radar-based gestures to the application subscribers. A hard-gating state prevents the radar system from detecting radar-based gestures altogether. The techniques and systems enable the radar system to determine when not to perform gesture-recognition, enabling user equipment to automatically reconfigure the radar system to meet user demand. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition.

Abstract: An interactive cord includes one or more touch-sensitive areas configured to detect user input and one or more non-touch-sensitive areas. An outer cover of the interactive cord includes a set of conductive lines braided together with one or more of a plurality of non-conductive lines at the touch-sensitive area. The set of conductive lines defines a plurality of intersections that each form a capacitive touchpoint at the touch-sensitive area. An inner core of the interactive cord includes at least the set of conductive lines and at least one of the plurality of non-conductive lines at the non-touch-sensitive area.
