Samsung's newly granted patent describes a radar-based system designed to turn "any display device" — including, the patent notes, "a wall or any projector screen" — into a virtual touchscreen, with the radar transceiver's field of view serving as a sensing zone for hand and finger gestures. Fig. 2C illustrates the projector-screen use case: a standalone radar peripheral, wirelessly connected to a host device, sits in view of an image cast onto a wall, with the radar's field of view (FoV) overlapping the projected display area. Named inventors are North Texas-based: Vutha Va and Boon Loong Ng of Plano, Anum Ali of Frisco, and Jianzhong Zhang of Dallas. [Composite image: Sources, U.S. Patent No. 12601813, Fig. 2C; DI Studio]
