Abstract: Various embodiments wirelessly detect micro gestures using multiple antenna of a gesture sensor device. At times, the gesture sensor device transmits multiple outgoing radio frequency (RF) signals, each outgoing RF signal transmitted via a respective antenna of the gesture sensor device. The outgoing RF signals are configured to help capture information that can be used to identify micro-gestures performed by a hand. The gesture sensor device captures incoming RF signals generated by the outgoing RF signals reflecting off of the hand, and then analyzes the incoming RF signals to identify the micro-gesture.

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.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing gesture-based control of a user interface are provided. For instance, a presence of a control article can be detected in a first proximity zone proximate a user device. Responsive to detecting the presence of the control article, presentation data corresponding to a presentation mode of a user interface associated with the user computing device can be provided for display. A presence of the control article can be detected in a second proximity zone proximate the user computing device. The second proximity zone can define a separate physical area than the first proximity zone. Responsive to detecting the presence of the control article in the second proximity zone, interactive data corresponding to an interactive mode of the user interface can be provided for display.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a smartphone-based radar system for determining user intention in a lower-power mode. The techniques and systems use a radar field to enable the smartphone to accurately determine the presence or absence of a user and further determine the intention of the user to interact with the smartphone. Using these techniques, the smartphone can account for the user's nonverbal communication cues to determine and maintain an awareness of users in its environment, and only respond to direct interactions once a user has demonstrated an intention to interact, which preserves battery power. The smartphone may determine the user's intention by recognizing various cues from the user, such as a change in position relative to the smartphone, a change in posture, or by an explicit action, such as a gesture.

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.

Responsive to detecting the presence of the control article, presentation data corresponding to a presentation mode of a user interface associated with the user computing device can be provided for display. A presence of the control article can be detected in a second proximity zone proximate the user computing device. The second proximity zone can define a separate physical area than the first proximity zone. Responsive to detecting the presence of the control article in the second proximity zone, interactive data corresponding to an interactive mode of the user interface can be provided for display.
