    Abstract: An interactive window treatment can include an interactive cord. The interactive cord can include a plurality of non-conductive lines; a plurality of conductive lines arranged together with one or more of the plurality of non-conductive lines to form a touch-sensitive area and a non-touch-sensitive area along the interactive cord. The interactive object can include at least one processor and at least one tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations. The operations can include detecting a user gesture using one or more of the plurality of conductive lines. The interactive cord can be connected with an upper attachment point at a first end of the interactive cord.

    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a smartphone providing radar-based proxemic context. The techniques and systems use a radar field to accurately determine a user's location and/or physical orientation with respect to an electronic device, such as a smartphone. The radar field also enables the device to receive 3D gestures from the user to interact with the device. The techniques allow the device to provide functionality based on the user's presence and/or orientation, and to appropriately adjust the timing, content, and format of the device's interactions with the user.

    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a radar system facilitating ease and accuracy of user interactions with a user interface. The techniques and systems can be implemented in an electronic device, such as a smartphone, and use a radar field to accurately determine three-dimensional (3D) gestures that can be used in combination with other inputs, such as touch or voice inputs, to interact with the user interface. These techniques allow the user to make 3D gestures from a distance and enable seamless integration of touch and voice commands with 3D gestures to improve functionality and user enjoyment.

    Abstract: This document describes techniques and devices for radar-based gesture-recognition through a wearable device. The techniques enable an easy-to-use input interface through this wearable radar device, in contrast to small or difficult-to-use input interfaces common to wearable computing devices. Further, these techniques are not limited to interfacing with wearable computing devices, but may aid users in controlling various non-wearable devices, such as to control volume on a stereo, pause a movie playing on a television, or select a webpage on a desktop computer.
