Abstract
Embodiments are generally directed to determination of mobile display position and orientation using micropower impulse radar. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a display to present images; radar components to generate radar signal pulses and to generate distance data based on received return signals; radar antennae to transmit the radar signal pulses and to receive the return signals; and a processor to process signals and data, wherein the processor is to: process the return signals received by the radar antennae to determine a position and orientation of the display with respect to real objects in an environment and to determine a position of a vantage point of a user of the apparatus, and generate an augmented image including rendering a virtual object and superimposing the virtual object on an image including one or more real objects, the rendering of the virtual image being based at least in part on the determined position and orientation of the display and the determined vantage point of the user of the apparatus.
