Tabletop Sensing

RaITIn, a radar-based identification (ID) method for tangible interactions. Unlike conventional radar solutions, RaITIn can track and identify objects on a tabletop scale. We use frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensors to classify different objects embedded with low-cost radar reflectors of varying sizes on a tabletop setup.

RaITIn provides radar based identification for tangible tabletop interaction. It uses a miniaturized radar to identify unique, low-cost embedded reflectors.
