Abstract
This document describes techniques and systems that enable a smartphone-based radar system facilitating ease and accuracy of user interactions with displayed objects in an augmented-reality interface. The techniques and systems use a radar field to accurately determine three-dimensional (3D) gestures that can be used to interact with augmented-reality (AR) objects that are presented on a display of an electronic device, such as a smartphone. These techniques allow the user to make 3D gestures from a distance—the user does not have to hold the electronic device steady while touching the screen and the gestures do not obstruct the user's view of the AR objects presented on the display.
